VirtualZine - Creative Non Fiction

We welcome creative nonfiction submissions of between 1,000 and 2,000 words, title included. We believe creative nonfiction can take a number of styles and forms: write your story in the best way you know how. We love unique storytelling, and we aren’t overly prescriptive with what form your writing takes. 

Although we are very unlikely to publish opinion pieces or similar journalistic articles, if your piece falls outside of those two genres, try us!

VCNF schedule

All year submissions for weekly* web-publication           

*schedule may vary throughout the year

Submissions Guidelines

  • Email submissions to virtualzine.vcnf@gmail.com. The subject line should start with VCNF followed by the title of your work. For example: VCNF - Moby Dick.


  • Please be mindful if submitting work as nonfiction: Virtual Zine Mag holds no responsibility for any dispute raised regarding the content of your creative nonfiction, so consider the repercussions of writing about others and seek permission or anonymise where appropriate. Please fact-check carefully and/or provide a web link to verify sources where possible/appropriate. Please tell us if you would better classify your work as a hybrid of fiction and CNF. 


  • Please add a short bio in 3rd person (no more than 50 words) and a link to your personal website or social media handle.


  • Paste the submissions into the body of an email. No attachments, please. 


  • Please submit only one piece per month. It has to be unpublished, in English and solely your own work. Translation of other authors' work is not acceptable.


  • Simultaneous submissions are allowed but please let us know immediately if your work has been accepted for publication elsewhere.


  • Unfortunately, we are currently unable to offer any payment for work we publish but we are hoping to change that in the future.


  • No racism, sexism, homophobia, sexual or explicit violence, animal cruelty and religious hatred.


            PLEASE FOLLOW  THE GUIDELINES OTHERWISE YOUR SUBMISSION 

            MAY GET REJECTED 

Copyright

Copyright will remain with the writer but by submitting to Virtual Zine you are granting us the non-exclusive right to publish your work online at VirtualZineMag.com and use it for promotional material. Published work may be submitted to competitions.

Declined Work

Unfortunately, we are unable to offer feedback on pieces not selected for publication.

Please remember that most rejections are due to personal taste and not because of the quality of your work.

We will attempt to reply to all submissions within a week but this may take longer in busy periods. Please follow up on your submission if you haven’t heard from us within 4 weeks.
