Ends on
Joyland Magazine is open for submissions through the end of November. We welcome works in translation. Simultaneous submissions are allowed. We consider fiction submissions (short stories and stand-alone novel excerpts) of up to 12,000 words. Our average response time is 12-16 weeks. We ask that you please submit one story at a time. All writers are compensated $350 for stories published with Joyland Magazine. Writers retain full copyright of their work.
