Welcome to Well Red Magazine. Here you will find new fictional short stories by some of today’s best writers proudly featured in a quality on-line publication.
Are you a brand new writer still hoping for that one big break and this is your first attempt at publication? Or are you an established writer submitting a story that may have already seen the light of day in some self-published form? As long as less than 50 copies have been sold, it is well written and falls within our guidelines for publication, we’d like to see it.
Well Red is always open to great fictional stories on all subjects and themes. The only exceptions are explicitly erotic and graphic sexual themes or any stories dealing with child sexual exploitation, these will not be accepted for publication.
Simultaneous submissions are fine, but please disclose this at the time of submission and notify us as soon as possible if your story is accepted elsewhere.
Every submission will be read. In the event of receiving mind-blowing amounts of submissions, each individual editor will compile a list of their favorite picks and submit them to the other editors to read and evaluate. This process will continue until a consensus is reached and we have found the compelling stories that we wish to publish for that issue. Or, in the event of contest submissions, until a winner is determined. An extremely noteworthy submission may be honored with publication even if it does not meet the requisite criteria under which it was initially submitted if the editors believe it is due such exceptional consideration.
Stories are primarily published on-line because today’s more techno-savvy readers prefer this venue as it better fits their more mobile lifestyles. It is also good news for less-established writers because it allows for greater chances of publication due to the reduced costs associated with on-line publishing. Not to worry, for those folks that still desire a physical copy we offer an optional print on demand feature.
When we accept a story for publication, we are buying first-publication rights only, YOU still own your story. Once we’ve accepted and published it you are free to do with it what you will. You may continue to send it out for further publication, include it in your own collection, self-publish, stick it on your refrigerator door with magnets, etc…it’s open to your own imagination and the sky is the limit.
Writers are paid generously for accepted stories ($0 – $000) and we pay upon acceptance.
We also publish Writers Want to Know, a topic-centered on-line publication because most writers yearn for any opportunity to better their writing and hone their craft. This publication is intended to provide our readers and contributors with the wisdom and perspectives of accomplished authors, new insights from emerging writers, as well as tips from editors and agents on polishing a story-line and self-promotional strategies. This is also the place where you will find updates on deadlines and such.
We welcome the opportunity to see and possibly publish your work!
