One Story Call for Submissions
Please note: One Story does not accept submissions from June 1 through August 31

What kind of stories is One Story looking for?
One Story is seeking literary fiction. Because of our format, we can only accept stories between 3,000 and 8,000 words. They can be any style and on any subject as long as they are good. We are looking for stories that leave readers feeling satisfied and are strong enough to stand alone.

Does One Story pay money?
Yes. One Story is offering $100 and 15 contributors copies for first North American serial rights. All rights will revert to the author upon publication.

Does One Story accept previously published material?
One Story is looking for previously unpublished material. However, if a story has been published in print outside of North America, it will be considered. No stories previously published online will be accepted.

Does One Story accept simultaneous submissions?
Yes, but please notify us immediately of your submission is accepted for publication elsewhere.

What file types can I submit?
Please only submit Rich Text Format (.RTF) files. Most word processing applications allow you to "save as" an RTF file. Please also make sure that your filename ends with the .RTF extension (for example: "mystory.rtf").
