Prime Number Magazine is a publication of Press 53, PO Box 30314, Winston-Salem, NC 27130

GENERAL:

Prime Number seeks to publish distinctive work, regardless of theme, form, or style. Contributors will include both emerging and established writers. Quarterly online issues will feature fiction, non-fiction, poetry, book-reviews, interviews, and essays on craft.

Between issues we will, from time to time, post Prime Decimals, consisting of flash fiction, flash non-fiction, and shorter poems. The annual print issue will include the editors’ selections from work that has appeared in the quarterly issues and Prime Decimals.

SUBMISSIONS:

We will only accept submissions uploaded through the links below. Please do not send submissions as attachments to emails.

Only original work will be considered.

Simultaneous submissions are welcome, but please inform us immediately if the work is accepted elsewhere.

Please limit your submissions to three in a year.

We will use our best efforts to respond to submissions within two months, but occasionally it will take a little longer.

PAYMENT:

Contributors whose work is included in the print annual will receive one copy of the annual, but no other compensation will be paid. (Proceeds from the print annual will be used to defray the cost of the magazine.) Contributors will grant, via a simple agreement, electronic serial rights, including perpetual archiving, plus first North American serial rights (for the print annual).

HOW TO SUBMIT:

Prose: We will consider short fiction and essays of no more than 5,000 words (4,000 words for craft essays), on any subject, in any style. Submit only one prose submission at a time, or up to three flash pieces (no more than 750 words each).. For book reviews and interviews please query the Book Review Editor first.
