About Us
We only publish novel excerpts. Some magazines and journals take excerpts, but they want them twisted and crammed into the shape of a short story. We're dedicated to real excerpts that feel like they come from novels we want to read -- they may pop us into the action and leave us hanging at the end. Each issue includes 5 winning novel excerpts from our contest across a variety of styles and genres. |
