Home > Writers' Corner

We receive more than 500 short story submissions each and every month for Cemetery Dance magazine. That's an amazing amount of fiction to consider, and keeping open lines of communication with writers isn't always an easy task, especially with our hectic schedule. Hopefully, The Writers' Corner will help us keep interested writers up-to-date on our current response time, any specific needs that might arise for the magazine, and any breaking news related to writers and artists.

We've been trying to keep our response time down, and we're currently averaging 2 to 4 months, although it can take longer if your story gets held for a second or third read. If you submitted to something to Cemetery Dance magazine more than six months ago and haven't received a response, your submission -- or our reply -- was probably lost in the postal system. It's also possible you did not include a SASE. Feel free to re-submit your story if you'd still like us to consider it for the magazine.

Author and artist submission guidelines for every open Cemetery Dance project and publication are available on our guidelines page. Please note: We cannot accept email queries or submissions.
