advice about changing it. They just don’t know.”

Summer/Fall 2023 Submissions:
Submissions are officially closed as we put together Starlite Pulp Review #3--they will open back up sometime around February.
NOTE: Reviews #1 & 2 are available! They feature 26 pulp tales, have a look on the 'shop' or 'books' tabs!
Starlite Pulp Review #3 (winter 2023 issue): We are looking for shorts for the 3rd Review. 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). Click the envelope to go to our Submittable page. Story submissions are $3 apiece.
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 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 submittable 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.
