Editorial Focus

Fiction has traditionally attempted to make accessible the inaccessible, to bring the experimental to a broader audience, but it represents no particular school of fiction, except the innovative. As a result of its willingness to publish the difficult, experimental and unusual, Fiction has a unique reputation in the U.S. and abroad as a journal of future directions. It prides itself on publishing established writers along with new, emerging voices that have not yet been heard.

Tips From the Editor

Before submitting, non-subscribers are encouraged to read several issues of the magazine to determine if their work fits with Fiction. Portions of the current issue and past issues are available to read online. Print versions are available for purchase by single-issue order and subscription on our subscription page.
