General Information
The Medulla Review will be open to submissions from July 1, 2010 to September 30, 2010 for Volume 2, Issue #1.
Take the time to read the issues, and feel free to mention what you enjoyed about them in your cover letter.
Issues will appear online November 1, March 1, and July 1 of each year. Submissions are accepted during the months of July, August, September, November, December, January, March, April, and May, but please submit early because the submission period may close early. Submissions are always closed during the months of October, February, and June.
Previous published work is not accepted. You will receive a response to your submission within ninety days. In most cases, the response time will be much quicker.
If your work is accepted for publication, The Medulla Review will obtain first time publication rights exclusively for ninety days; after ninety days rights will revert to the author, with the condition that The Medulla Review is cited as first publisher. You are also granting The Medulla Review the rights to publish your work in a yearly print anthology---more about this soon!

Fiction Guidelines
Please send flash fiction and short stories from 50 to 3,000 words. Surreal, literary, experimental, edgy, bizarre, and mainstream writing is sought. Horror, mystery, historical, erotica --- all themes and styles will be considered, but preference will be given to stories that blur and defy genre, to unique voices attentive to prose.
