Ghost Moth Review is now open for submissions for our upcoming issue, themed Liminality (interpret it as you like), which is set to be published digitally in October 2026. We have a sweet spot for the melancholic and the uncanny, regardless of genre, and we strongly encourage artistic expression and originality.

• Flash Fiction: Submit one story per person in a .docx or .pdf file. We are looking for pieces between 100 and 1,000 words.
• Poetry: Submit up to three poems in a single .docx or .pdf file.
• Visual Art & Photography: Submit up to three artwork pieces or photographs (as attachments, not inside a document). Accepted file formats are: TIFF, PNG, or JPEG (high quality) at 300 dpi.
• Originality: We only accept previously unpublished work. The use of AI or LLMs in the creation of your work is strictly prohibited.
• Rights: Ghost Moth Review claims First Worldwide Serial Rights and First Electronic Rights. Upon publication, all rights revert to the author. We also request the right to archive your work on our website indefinitely. If the work is later reprinted in a collection or elsewhere, we kindly ask that you acknowledge its first publication in Ghost Moth Review.
