Close To The Bone publishes crime noir in short and long form

The Magazine

I’m currently open for submissions.

I accept crime noir short fiction between 500 and 5000 words.

I’m looking for work with a clear voice, immediate tension, and a strong sense of consequence.

No multiple submissions.

Format must be in a word format and must be attached to the email. No links will be considered.

Emails with no message will not be considered and deleted.

I’m currently open for submissions.

I will consider crime noir novels, novellas, and short story collections. Before submitting, make sure your work clearly fits crime noir.

Please include a synopsis, first three chapters and a brief author bio.

Due to volume of submissions I will not provide detailed feedback.

For poetry and submissions falling outside the Crime genre, Hunsbury Press will be the Imprint you’ll need to consider.

Contracts and conditions will be on a case-by-case basis. Please note I do not market or advertise work published.
