About Shorts Magazine

Shorts is a free online magazine which launched in February 2020 with the aim of bringing together writers and creative artists from all over the world. Shorts particularly encourages submissions from marginalised communities, and from new and emerging writers. 

Shorts was established in a time of growing isolationism on the part of the UK and the US, and aims to combat this by uniting global creatives and nurturing unheard voices. It is an LGBTQ+ friendly platform with a liberal outlook.

Shorts is produced by the writer and poet Marnie Devereux in northern Arizona, US.

Open Call for Submissions: closing 15th May

Shorts magazine is considering submissions for its Spring edition, published 20th May.

We are now accepting original short fiction, essays, poetry, opinion pieces, life writing, articles, research topics, interviews, top ten lists, monologues, original photography, cartoons, artist showcase…if I like it, I’ll publish it.

Submissions must be your own work; copyright remains with the contributor.
