Perilous Adventures is published quarterly. We accept submissions throughout the year via our online submissions manager.

We welcome submissions from writers with something to say. All submissions will be acknowledged as soon as they are received, and either accepted for publication or rejected (sorry!) within one month where possible, though at times we can take longer. Please feel free to query the status of your submission if you have heard nothing from us after a month.

We are seeking work in three main categories: New Works, On Writing, and Reviews. If you would like to be a reviewer for Perilous Adventures, please send a sample review and your contact details to the reviews editor, Carla Billinghurst, at reviews@perilousadventures.net or subscribe to our reviewers ebulletin by clicking here.

We don't have firm editorial guidelines or biases: our focus is on publishing the best work we can find, regardless of genre, content, focus or theme. What we want is writing that sparks. Writing that inspires us.

Like all readers, we are easily distracted by poorly edited or sloppily presented work so please proofread your work carefully before submitting it to us.

We are not overly concerned with length, however we do NOT publish novel-length works, and are unlikely to publish works over about 10,000 words.

Perilous Adventures does not currently pay for submissions. Works published by us are published under a non-exclusive first electronic rights arrangement, unless you request something different (such as a Creative Commons licence). We will consider reprints.
