The Litro print magazine only publishes themed stories, but the Litro website is open to submissions of short fiction that is not theme-specific, published every Sunday with the Twitter hashtag #StorySunday.

Due to the volume of submissions we receive, please submit only one piece at a time. Additional submissions will unfortunately not be considered.

Please also note that we have a rough policy of not publishing another piece by the same author within six months.
