Thirteen Bridges Review is a digital magazine that publishes one story per month as a featured piece on its website. The journal's stated interest lies in beautifully written, character-driven fiction, and it remains open to all forms and styles within that broad compass. The editors consider micro, flash, and short stories, with a strict ceiling of 2,000 words per submission. There is no reading fee, and simultaneous submissions are permitted, provided the writer notifies the review if the work is accepted elsewhere. The submission structure is deliberately constrained: writers may send up to three micro or flash pieces, or one short story, at a time. Work must be previously unpublished and submitted as a Microsoft Word document only. The review does not accept any work that has been enhanced by AI in any way. Once a decision has been rendered—whether acceptance or decline—the writer may submit new work, allowing for an ongoing rather than one-time relationship with the journal. Because accepted stories appear as a monthly feature, the editorial calendar is selective and sequential. The review's curatorial vision favors narrative craft and character depth over thematic prescription, and the absence of a fee signals an interest in reading rather than gatekeeping. For writers, the terms are transparent: no cost to submit, no restriction on simultaneous consideration, and a clear word limit that rewards compression and precision.
