The SportScribe Literary Magazine Now Open For Submissions!


Call For Submissions

The SportScribe would love to receive any sports-themed fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, essays, book reviews and interviews. If you’re not sure whether it qualifies as a “sports-themed” work, just send it along and we’ll decide if it’s a good fit. If it’s a great piece and we love it, we’ll make it work. While all sports-themed submissions are welcome, we have a special taste for the dark side of sports – revenge and redemption stories, general vice/debauchery/depravity, and the off-the-field underbelly of the sports world. Send us your best and nastiest!

Word Count: 1,000 word limit for flash fiction and poetry; 5,000 word limit for short stories and everything else. We have some flexibility here – if your masterpiece is a bit longer, we’ll consider it (if it’s awesome) but anything beyond these word limits will probably be rejected as it doesn’t sync well with our publication parameters.
