If you’re looking to be published by Aphor, you're in the right place.

Forms

For starters, we are interested in poetry, fiction, philosophical writing and essays, and other forms of non-fiction. We enjoy works in the spirit of some of these writers.
Given our interest in the aphoristic spirit, we are not interested in publishing extremely lengthy works on their own of any genre.

Formatting

Submissions are free. Please submit to submit (at) aphor.org. At the minimum, use the subject line to inform us of the title of your work, include a biography in the body of the email, and send the file. At the maximum, say hi to the editor (if you can find her) and recommend a film or cocktail.
Please use Times New Roman or any similar serif. Do not use Courier New or any similar serif. Please omit the laundry list of previous publications in your biography; we’d prefer something with a little more personality, such as the name of your childhood cat or favorite Tolstoy tome.

Policies

Turn-around time tends to be quick, but we accept simultaneous submissions nonetheless. Please let us know as soon as possible if your work is accepted elsewhere.
While we don’t prefer it, we’re okay with work that has been previously published on a personal website, or has been somehow orphaned. Please let us know in your cover letter so that we can consider that factor ahead of time.
We do not ordinarily provide feedback on accepted or rejected work. If you would like to receive some feedback along with your submission outcome, please donate a few dollars to our ko-fi for site maintenance (be sure to include your name), and note that you have done so in your cover letter because you desire feedback.
Feel free to send us a few submissions, but don’t flood our inbox. Submit new work as frequently as it suits you. If your work is declined, we encourage you to look at the work on our website to get a refreshed sense of our taste before submitting again.
To read more about our terms of publication, look here at the nitty-gritty. All writers, if their work was solicited, are subject to the same terms.
