You are also welcome to submit your work elsewhere when submitting to Hawkshaw Press but kindly let us know if it finds a home.

Note that we are not interested in stories that feature torture of people or animals, stories that condone hatred and violence, racist works, spiritual tales, or erotica, nor are we seeking memoir, poetry, romance, children, YA. We are also very careful not to accept works that may be considered to be co-opting another’s experience or ethnicity at the same time that we appreciate a diverse cast of characters.

Do not send us previously published submissions.
