Editorial Focus
The Molotov Cocktail is interested in volatile flash fiction, the kind of prose you cook up in a bathtub and handle with rubber gloves. While literary fiction is certainly welcomed, the Molotov Cocktail isn’t some erudite journal that will only accept stories with at least five layers of metaphor. They want your action, they want your rotten characters, they want viscera. While genre pieces are permissible, anything that is reliant on genre convention over story will not be looked kindly upon. It’s all about language and story.
Tips From the Editor
We do hold quarterly themed contests as well. These require a submission fee, and they pay out $200 for the top prize, with cash also going to two runners-up.
