Generic Aspirations believes in pushing boundaries to find new stories within the framework of genre. As such, we encourage authors to experiment, to swing for the fences. Bend the tropes of your chosen genre – break them if you must – to create new avenues of expression.

We are accepting submissions of short stories or poetry until April 30th, 2020.

We ask that submissions be limited to one short story, or up to three poems submitted as an attached Word Document. Please indicate the genre and whether your submission is a short story or collection of poems in the subject line of your email. Authors may also include a brief biography in the body of the email. Short story submissions must be limited to 2000 words in Times New Roman 12-point font.

Please send submissions to genericaspirations@gmail.com.
