     We try to make submissions simple for everyone (including us!) Just format your manuscript in an easy-to-read font, such as 12-point Times New Roman, single spaced (for readability,) and save it as a .doc, .docx, or an .odt (OpenOffice) file. Attach it to an email addressed to Submissions@HalfHourToKill.Com. Make your Subject line "Submission - Title of Work," and in the body of the email add your contact info and any previous publications you'd like listed. Include whatever info you'd like inside your manuscript as we gather most of your info from the body of the email. Except for poetry (submit up to three,) multiple submissions are not accepted at this time, but simultaneous submissions are not a problem. Just let us know when you get picked up via our Contact Form.

     What are we looking for? Good writing, like everyone else. We won't go into a bunch of colorful metaphors other than saying we enjoy a well written story with an unpredictable plot. Fiction, along the lines of past, present and future would be of interest, horror stories without gratuitous gore, and Noir, defined as a day in the life, or a crime drama from years ago. We also like good poetry, and we hold a warm spot for non-fiction as well, so send us what you got! We'll pass on erotica, and make the usual disclaimers about undesirable subject matter such as racism, et.al.

     We define Flash Fiction as a work under a 1000 words. No Micro Flash Fiction please. Short stories come in at 5000 words. Poetry is 50 lines or less at this time. This is not the site to submit a 30,000 word Novella, or your first novel. Get yourself an agent.
