Welcome to Gooseberry Pie

Gooseberry Pie Lit Magazine publishes microfiction stories that are exactly six-sentences with less 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. We have a weakness for quirky characters. Animals are always a plus. With microfiction stories, every word matters.

Submissions are always open. Never a fee. Click Here For Submission Guidelines.
