We believe in fostering meaningful discussions among friends, family, and students to enhance humanity through truth-seeking, reflection, and respectful debate. To achieve this, we publish philosophical and ethical short story fiction accompanied by discussion questions. What does this mean from a practical standpoint? It means we accept any short story genre in the 1500-7000 word range, but we want a specific kind of story; we are looking for a story where there is a universal issue where two reasonable people could reasonably disagree about what a good (or just) person should do. If you need another example, read \u201cThe Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas\u201d by the amazing Ursula K. Le Guin. We are a monthly print+digital. We never close for submissions. We pay $75 per short story accepted. Also, unlike many lit magazine, you can find us everywhere, from 22,000 digital libraries to Apple Books to Amazon.
