100 Word Story is a literary magazine dedicated to the very short form, publishing works that are exactly 100 words in length. The constraint is not a gimmick but a discipline: it demands precision, economy, and a heightened awareness of every syllable. The magazine has established itself as a home for writers who understand that brevity can amplify resonance, and it has featured both emerging and established voices. The magazine accepts fiction, poetry, and nonfiction, though the boundaries between genres often blur within the 100-word frame. What unites the published pieces is a commitment to narrative or lyrical compression—each word must earn its place. The editorial vision favors work that feels complete and inevitable, where the form and content are inseparable. Submissions are accepted on a rolling basis, with no reported reading fee, making it accessible to a wide range of writers. While no monetary prize is offered, publication in 100 Word Story carries weight within the literary community as a marker of formal mastery. The magazine's archive serves as a de facto anthology of the short-short form, and contributors join a lineage of writers who have embraced the challenge of the 100-word limit.
