Short Story Submissions

If you would like to have your short story published on The Vandal, there are just a few criteria.

  • The word count must be no longer than 2,000 words and at least 1,000 words.
  • It must be suitable for a wide demographic range, so no ‘adult themes’ or course language.
  • It cannot be material already published.
  • However, material that has been published on your own blog or website only is acceptable.
  • Each story must have an image. One source of images that can be used without infringing copyright is www.morguefile.com
  • Grammar, spelling and punctuation of course, must be checked and of a high standard.
  • Each post will carry the authors name and one link to either a website or blog. (Sorry. No links to an Amazon book page.)
  • Submissions will be published, subject to approval, in the order they are received.

We look forward to receiving your short story. Please submit your story by clicking on the link below.
