Editorial Focus

Scoundrel Time is a nonprofit online literary journal publishing fiction, essays, poetry, translated works, graphic memoir and fiction, humor, and visual art that addresses threats to people, cultures, and landscapes posed by the current world situation. The theme is broadly interpreted through the lens of story and its ability to remind people of their shared humanity. 

Tips From the Editor

Please take a look at our site, and read what we’ve published so far. Note that we are not looking for venting or diatribes. We’re interested in works that tell stories, in whatever form. Please see additional guidelines on our site from our fiction editor, Karen Bender, and our poetry editor, Daisy Fried. Fiction and poetry can be submitted via Submittable. All other genres (creative nonfiction, humor, music, and art) should be queried first by email to our general mailbox.
