    NOT PUBLISHING

    From the Editor

    The Rag is an electronic literary magazine that focuses on grittier forms of contemporary short fiction. We publish in ePub, Kindle, and PDF formats, aiming for the e-reader/tablet market. Our mission is to seek out powerful new literary voices and bring them to light. We see electronic publishing as an opportunity to turn back time to an era of affordable distribution and open competition, which allows us to reach a broader audience and inject new life into the literary market. We also believe it’s important that authors be duly compensated for their work. We’ve published 6 issues to date and we guarantee our contributing writers the pro rate ($0.05/word) as a minimum payment standard. We believe maintaining this payment standard provides us access to competitive and engaging material, which enables us to consistently provide our readers with truly compelling literature. We accept submissions electronically via Submittable or through the regular mail. See https://raglitmag.submittable.com/submit for more info.

    Submissions

    We focus on the gritty, transgressive side of contemporary fiction. We like subtle themes, clear and concise writing, twisted humor and original characters.
