Gooseberry Pie Lit Magazine publishes microfiction stories that are exactly six-sentences with no more than 400 words (excluding the title).
We strive to showcase the finest microfiction online, featuring work from both well-known authors and emerging voices alike.
We enjoy stories that are like gooseberry pie: Tart, Messy, and Satisfying, but leave us wanting more. With microfiction stories, every word matters.
Currently, we are unable to pay for publication. However, we nominate for awards including Best of the Net, Best Microfiction, and Best Small Fictions.
We publish new issues of the magazine on the second Thursday of each month. The May issue includes our annual writing competition winners.
Gooseberry Pie Lit Magazine is always open for submissions, never a fee. Click Here For Submission Guidelines.
