TSF Open Submissions May 2026

Please read our full Submission Guidelines before sending us your work.

All work submitted must be previously unpublished and it must not be under consideration elsewhere. 

This submission round will close at 5pm Irish time on Wednesday May 20th.

We currently accept submissions in the following four categories: short stories; novel extracts; non-fiction; poetry. 

Submissions of graphic fiction and work translated into English from other languages are also welcome. 

We are not accepting Featured Poet submissions during this submission window.

Writers may only submit work to us under one category per submission period. 

Your work should always be just as long (or as short) as it needs to be. If you are sending us a novel extract, please don’t send us your full novel! Just a chapter or a section or a story-length passage will suffice, so long as it can be enjoyed as a standalone piece. 

For poetry submissions, you may send up to 3 poems. Your poems should be submitted together in one single document.
