Barren Magazine accepts flash fiction, short fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction about the complexities of the human condition. We also accept photography — all images in Barren Magazine are original. Please read our current issue to get an idea of what catches our eye. Each submission period has its own set of prompts, but these are more for shaping issues. We do not accept or reject material based on whether it aligns with prompts.
Barren Magazine accepts simultaneous submissions, but we ask that you please let us know immediately if your work is accepted elsewhere. We prefer previously unpublished material, but may accept previously published material as long as authors own its copyright and provide appropriate attribution.
