About the organization
CHEAP POP is a literary organization founded with the conviction that brevity and accessibility are not at odds with artistic seriousness. It began as a reading series in Los Angeles and has since evolved into a publisher of flash fiction and poetry, with a particular emphasis on work that is punchy, immediate, and unpretentious. Its core mission is to champion short-form writing that captures the zeitgeist without sacrificing craft, often featuring voices that are emerging, experimental, or overlooked by more traditional literary gatekeepers.

3 listedApplication guidance
Writers should approach CHEAP POP with work that is concise, vivid, and free of filler. The editors favor pieces that make an immediate impact, often with a strong voice or a surprising turn. Before submitting, read several issues to understand the range of accepted work, which spans from the humorous to the heartbreaking. Keep cover letters brief and focus on the writing itself. Simultaneous submissions are generally accepted, but notify promptly if your work is placed elsewhere. Response times can vary, so patience is advised.
