Hi! Are previously published stories (published in print) allowed?

Strange Pilgrims's avatar

hi andrea, i'll update this in the guidelines, but for this prize we only accept previously unpublished works though work published previously on social media or your own website/Substack/blog is totally fine!

This sounds amazing! Is work we've submitted for other contests, but not published, eligible? ☺️

Strange Pilgrims's avatar

1000% !! Thank you Olivia 💙

Weird question: submissions only in English? 😅

"All submitted work is considered for publication in Strange Pilgrims" - does this mean that even stories that don't win the prize might be published in the magazine? Thank you!

Hi. Please delete this after you read it: you have a typo on your awards page!

https://submissions.strangepilgrims.com/prize

Third line: "Transparency & Disclaimers."

You're missing an S on disclaimers.

Happens to us all.

Hi. Can I submit more than one short story, or just one entry? I have a few ideas knocking around.

Hello! Excited about this contest - I am wondering if I can submit to it if I have an open submission with you from March, or if I need to wait for the next one? Thanks so much in advance :)

Can you submit multiple entries in the same category?

Georgia Silverman's avatar

Hi! Are multiple submissions allowed? Or only one per person? Sooo exicted for this and love your magazine!

How exciting!!! Are you looking for long stories - nearer to 10,000 the better or would any length be considered?

As eloquent as... We’re utterly uninterested in outsourcing imagination... is, you are going to lose this one. Sorry. AI is going to (insert adjective) the written word. You can stand your noble ground, and I salute you for doing so, but you are going to lose.
