2025 Submissions:

​

​

 

NOTE: Reviews #1-7 are available!  They feature 80 pulp tales, have a look on the 'shop' or 'books' tabs! We placed 3 stories in 'Best American' anthologies last year, and hope to keep the momentum going. ​

Starlite Pulp Review #8 (summer 2026 issue):  

​

Submissions are currently closed. They will open up again in August.

 

All stories should fall under the Pulp 'umbrella', so horror/crime/adventure/western/Sci Fi, or anything in between.  Any size is welcome, although understand that anything over about 20k words really belongs in the novella category.  Payment for accepted stories is $25 and a contributor's copy of the book (although a bit of a caveat there for some international authors, we can chat about that if/when necessary).  Authors whose stories get accepted will also be invited to participate in a round table podcast in January (optional, of course). Click the envelope above to go to our Submittable page.  Story submissions are $3 apiece.  Window will be open until approximately mid-September, depending on the editing process and number of sub's, so get 'em in while you can! Also, NO AI submissions of any kind will be considered. 

​

We are also accepting 'graphic' shorts for the 8th Review, meaning something along the Sin City/Stray Bullets/Walking Dead lines.  Must be black & white, since the whole issue is, and must be scalable to a 6x9 size.  

​

We are not currently accepting submissions for book-length manuscripts, though that can (and will) change in the future, so check back from time to time (or check our Instagram, which updates daily).  

 

​

One note on pricing: We apologize for charging for submissions.  In a perfect world, we wouldn't have to.  We are not, however, a non-profit affiliated with a university or the AWP (like so many litmags are), and therefore cannot ask for grants and/or utilize fundraising opportunities like they can.  We are just a tiny company who believes in Pulp and our mission, and who pays out of pocket for every submission page we use, every artist/photographer we hire, and every book we print.  So, it's a necessary evil to keep the lights on and pay for those ISBN's and vendors.  Thanks.
