SUBMISSION GUIDLINES
WHAT IS UNDERGRXND?
-
We publish three times a year: April, August and December. We accept submissions in five categories: poetry, fiction, non-fiction, photography, and art.
-
Please submit in just one category. We delete submissions made in multiple categories. We only consider the first 100 submissions in each category (the first 100 fiction submission, the first 100 poetry submissions, etc.).

FICTION SUBMISSIONS: we invite authors to submit one short story between 2,000 and 5,000 words in length.

Please include any required photographer credit. We will not accept photos that have been altered in any way.

Photos MUST be at least 2,000 pixels wide.
