Editorial focus
The aim of Black Fox is to publish both established and new writers. We welcome all fiction, but we especially like fiction from underrepresented genres and styles, including YA. We are also interested in creative nonfiction, poetry, black and white photography, and art.
Submitting your work
Writers should read several issues before submitting to understand the magazine's aesthetic, which favors concise, image-driven prose and poetry with a strong emotional core. Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but notify promptly if work is placed elsewhere. Include a brief cover letter with publication credits, if any, and a third-person bio. Black Fox typically responds within 2-3 months; query only after that period. Avoid genre fiction, overly experimental forms without clear intent, and work that relies on shock value. The editors appreciate submissions that demonstrate careful revision and a clear sense of voice.
Please read submission guidelines carefully.
