Onyx Publications is currently accepting submissions for the 2025 Editions of our on-line magazine, Etched Onyx. Our Spring/Summer edition deadline is July 1, 2025.
Beyond being published in the magazine, all stories are narrated and include an author interview in our Story Discovery Podcast. Etched Onyx is generally published quarterly. Writers of accepted submissions receive a payment of $25 for works up to 2500 words (including poetry) and $50 for works up to 5000 words. There is a submission fee of $7.50.
Submitted works must be previously unpublished fiction, nonfiction, poetry or flash fiction. We do not require that you put the story’s life on hold while applying to us, therefore simultaneous submissions are fine, but please do let us know immediately if your work is accepted elsewhere. We are open to all styles and types of writing as long as the story is engaging. While we are not opposed to experimental or speculative types of fiction, it has to be interesting and understandable.
We require a minimum of three (3) poems but prefer five (5) in one document/submission. If selected we will publish multiple poems. Five poems is the maximum you may submit in one document.
All works must be under 5,000 words.
Manuscript requirements and a link to our Submittable Portal can be found on our submissions page.
