Onyx Publications Read our short stories for free or listen to our Story Discovery Podcast. If your submission gains consideration, we will contact you for more information.

Our mission is to provide an accessible path to writers and poets, for showcasing their work and broadening their reach, so that readers across the globe can discover new works. We are always open for submissions but there are specific deadlines for our quarterly editions of Etched Onyx magazine and the Story Discovery Podcast. All applications must come through our Submittable portal (you can acc

ess the link through our website www.onyxpublications.com). Submitted works must be previously unpublished fiction, nonfiction, flash fiction and poetry. We do not require that you put the story's life on hold while applying to us, therefore simultaneous submissions are fine, but please do let us know immediately if your work is accepted elsewhere. You are welcome to include a cover letter, though, it is not required as it gives us more to read. We know waiting for responses can be a nail-biting experience (and may even include some cuticles) so we try to respond to all entries about one month out from the magazine publish date. We are open to all styles and types of writing as long as the story is engaging. While we are not opposed to experimental or speculative types of fiction, it has to be interesting and understandable. All works must be under 5,000 words.

Happy to announce a new story, The Concrete and the Tree, by Skye Gilkerson (instagram ) is live at Etched Onyx Mag, along with her interview on the Story Discovery Podcast.

Her essay takes you on a personal journey revealing a parallel link between humanity’s connection with our planet and our bodies. During the interview, you’ll learn of Skye’s unique outlook on making both visual and prose art. She discusses burning her decades of journals as a form of creation, as well as the benefits of not completing your work.
