Submit to
Hammock
We are open to submissions from anyone, all year round. As a small team, response times can vary greatly, but we aim to respond to them within 9 to 12 weeks.
TECHNICALITIES
To submit, send your pitches or completed stories as either .docx or .pdf files to submissions@hammockmag.com in
The document should be 12 pt, preferably double spaced, with your contact details and a short bio included.
In most cases, we only consider finished pieces. We don’t have strict word limits, but are unlikely to publish anything longer than 7,500 words.
Submissions must be previously unpublished. We pay for all accepted pieces upon publication.
WHAT WE WANT
Short stories, standalone novel excerpts about anything and everything, non-fiction that’s well-researched and deeply felt, personal pieces about belonging, grief, longing, regret, joy, place, and more, nuanced essays on identity, post-capitalism, family, nightlife, film, therapy, art, relationships, memory, coming of age, intoxication, loneliness or elation, moments that shook you up, book lists that foster a new approach, insider or outsider takes on a particular scene or phenomenon, unique reading or viewing experiences that you want to share with the world, bold, experimental ideas, and anything that you think needs to be seen. Read the stories on our site to have an idea of the kind of work we’re seeking. Pitch us and share your work, we’re pretty open-minded.
WHAT WE DON'T WANT
Topical think pieces, opinions on news, political manifestos, poetry, typical book or film reviews, travelogues (unless they’re in the Pico Iyer meets Hunter S Thompson mold), academic writing, genre fiction, lifestyle writing. None of these rules are hard and fast but going through our website should give you an idea of what we like.
