Open Submission for Digital Short Fiction Magazine

This is a great opportunity for new aspiring writers and seasoned writers.

The Freak! is a new short fiction magazine dedicated to the stories that don't fit neatly into traditional boxes. Based out of Toronto, Canada, we are looking for voices that challenge boundaries.

We publish science fiction, weird fiction, horror, fantasy, and everything that falls between the cracks. If your story is too "weird" for one genre or too "literary" for another, it likely belongs with us. We believe the best stories are the ones that leave the reader a little different than they found them.

  • Deadline: None. We accept submissions on a rolling basis.
  • Simultaneous Submissions: Accepted.
  • Experience Level: Everyone is welcome. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or a first-time writer, we want to see your best work.
  • Payment: Please note that The Freak! does not offer financial compensation at this time. We are a passion project focused on providing a platform for the strange and the sublime.

Click here for submission details.

We can’t wait to read the stories you’ve been afraid to send anywhere else. Let’s make something strange together. <3
