Stories that are unforgettable. The name CHEAP POP is inspired by the regional word Michiganders use for soda—pop—and you can, to this day, see signs all over the state advertising “Cheap pop for sale.” The idea of this online journal is much in the same—to quench your literary thirst with quick sips of awesome writing. While we started looking only for fiction, we soon realized that the line betw
een fiction and nonfiction often blurs; we no longer differentiate between Fiction, Creative Nonfiction, and anything in-between. (Please note, however, that we DO NOT ACCEPT POETRY.) There are no regional or theme restrictions of any kind. Basically: Wow us with your work. Devastate us. Make us fall in love. Send us finished pieces you’re proud of. Check out our SUBMISSIONS page for a full list of dos and don'ts, including exactly what we're looking for.
