Harriet’s House publishes short stories between 1,200 and 5,000 words. While we are looking for submissions primarily in English, inclusions of other languages and dialects that don’t hinder the overall understanding of the narrative are, of course, welcome. Simultaneous submissions are allowed and writers retain all the rights to their work.
Harriet’s House is open for submissions. Please send your story and a short cover letter to harrietshousemag@gmail.com.

What is your response time?
We expect our response time to be between 3-5 months.
