About the magazine
The Blood Pudding is an online literary and arts journal founded in 2020 with a commitment to publishing visceral, unflinching work that explores the darker, more unsettling aspects of human experience. Its name evokes a raw, bodily aesthetic, and the journal has quickly become a home for flash fiction, poetry, and hybrid texts that resist sentimentality and easy resolution. The journal operates with a lean, editor-run model, emphasizing curatorial care over institutional bureaucracy, and has built a reputation for amplifying emerging and underrepresented voices alongside established writers.
Submitting your work
Reading periodVaries
Writers should read several issues before submitting to understand the journal's tonal range, which favors stark imagery, psychological tension, and concise, punchy prose. Flash fiction submissions should be under 1,000 words, and simultaneous submissions are generally accepted, but notify the editors promptly if your work is placed elsewhere. Cover letters should be brief and professional; the editors value the work itself over biographical padding. Response times vary, so query after three months if you have not heard back.
