Flights is open for submissions for ISSUE TEN until 18.00 on 18 August 2023. We accept submissions of poetry, flash fiction and prose. We have no preferred genre, form or style but will never consider work that is sexist, homophobic or racist
We aim to publish our e-journal quarterly (March, June, September and December) and all work submitted will be considered for the next issue that has available space
For poetry, please send no more than 3 poems totalling no more than 150 lines
For flash fiction, please send no more than 3 pieces each to be no more than 500 words
For prose, please send no more than 2500 words
Please try to submit previously unpublished work. We will occasionally accept previously published work if we really like it, please tell us when submitting where and when the piece was first published – if we use it we will credit the original publication
Unfortunately, we do not accept simultaneous submissions as we do not have the time to read work that may be withdrawn to be published elsewhere
Please include any social media handles so the we can promote your work upon publication
Please send us your finished work as we do not have time for revisions.
Please note we will not be able to replicate your choice of font and may not be able to replicate your formatting – but will try.
Your submission must not be pasted in the body of your email, it should be attached to your email in a single WORD.docx – please do not submit using any other format. Submissions in any other format will not be read
We aim to reply within a 4 to 10 weeks of receiving your submission; feel free to get in touch and give us a friendly nudge if we have been longer than 10 weeks
Of course you are the owner of the work submitted and retain copyright upon publication, but, by submitting to Flights you agree to grant Flights first serial and electronic rights, as well as electronic archival rights (for ever). You also agree that if the work is subsequently published elsewhere (online or in print), you will credit Flights as the original publisher of the work
Flights does not generate any income, so we are not in a position to offer any payment for published work
We are now a small publishing press and hope to publish an annual selection of poetry in a pamphlet – Take Flight. Publication in Flights may lead to an invitation to be published by our small press, more info here
We aim to nominate for literature prizes (to include Pushcart and Best of the Net)
