submit: Cezanne's Carrot Literary Journal

"We accept flash fiction and short stories from 100 to 3,000 words. Novel excerpts are acceptable if they stand on their own and stay within the word limit.

Qualities we look for in fiction:

* Three-dimensional characters that do more than just serve a plot
* Good use of imagery and detail
* Realistic dialogue
* A beginning, middle, and end (doesn't need to be as clearly defined in flash or experimental works, but we do like to see some sense of movement or change)
* Smooth, tight prose that is the result of several, careful edits"
