General guidelines

Ink & Sword aims to be a source of clean fiction where readers can enjoy a good story without the profuse use of profanity, sexual or violent content. We seek and prioritize imaginative, thought-provoking, possibly original content and ideas.

 

We specialize in fictional writing, such as, short stories, poetry, flash fiction, etc.; however, we also accept nonfictional writing such as, essays, biographies, memoirs, creative nonfiction, etc. 

 

​Entries must be print-ready: free of spelling/grammatical mistakes and appropriately structured .i.e. proper paragraphs and complete sentences. Ink & Sword reserves the right to edit your work, if necessary.
