Welcome to Gooseberry Pie
Gooseberry Pie Lit Magazine publishes microfiction stories that are exactly six-sentences with no more than 400 words (excluding the title). We publish new stories on the first and third Thursdays of every month. Only one issue per month is published during the months of November, December, and January.
We like stories that are like gooseberry pie: Tart, Messy, and Satisfying. Quirky characters are a plus. With microfiction stories, every word matters.
Submissions are always open.
Never a fee.
Gooseberry Pie Lit Magazine is open for regular submissions. Click Here For Submission Guidelines.
We’re also open for submissions to our annual writing contest from April 1 to April 11, 2025. Click here for those guidelines.
