AC|DC is currently accepting submissions of Fiction, Creative Nonfiction and Art from LGBTQIA+ writers and artists.
Poetry submissions are closed until November 1st.
Take a look at what’s on the site to decide if your work might be a good fit.
We are currently accepting all submissions through Duosuma. Submit via the link below. Email submissions will not be read.
Regular Submissions: We aim to respond within 30 days, but it can take as long as 60 days.
Tip Jar Submissions: For a tip of $5.00, you can skip the line and receive a response within 3 days (72 hours). Please note in the cover letter section of your submission : "Tip Jar"
If you'd like to show your support with an amount less than $5.00, you won't skip the line, but you will earn a special place in AC|DC's heart.
Tips do not sway our decision.
