A forum for fiction and poetry, descant seeks high-quality work in either innovative or traditional forms. Fiction is usually 5000 words or fewer, poems sixty lines or fewer. We do, however, occasionally accept submissions exceeding these lengths. descant specifies no particular subject matter or style.
Please submit only one (1) story and no more than five (5) poems at one time.
Writers must confirm that work accepted by descant has not been previously published and that they will credit descant as the original publisher whenever and wherever else the work may be placed.
For the 2014-2015 reading season, we'll accept either traditional or online submissions (through Submittable only). A self-addressed stamped envelope must be included with traditional submissions to guarantee reply, return, or acknowledgement of submission
