Guidelines for Fiction Submissions

Identity Theory publishes fiction from new and up-and-coming writers, with special attention paid to promoting strong literary voices.

While our Web-based wonderland doesn't afford us the income to compensate authors for accepted pieces, we put our value to you by carefully reading every submission, replying with constructive comments, and publishing the very best material we receive, posted promptly on Identity Theory, an established literary site viewed by thousands of readers every day.

When you submit your fiction piece for consideration, you should:

1. Let us know if the piece has been published elsewhere, including online.
2. Bear in mind that fiction published on Identity Theory has traditionally not been longer than 4,000 words and has rarely included genre fiction.
3. Include a short author biography (50-100 words), including publishing credits.
4. Paste your submission into the body of an e-mail. No attachments will be opened.
5. Send your contribution to Andrew Whitacre at fiction@identitytheory.com.
