About

The Literary Bone is a new, up-and-coming journal of genre literature offering you some of the freshest new talent in the world of short fiction today. Planning on being published tri-annually or semi-annually, in the beginning, and in volumes rather than issues, we hope that in time The Literary Bone becomes a success where we can start paying writers for their work. Yes folks, this is a publishing venture! The Literary Bone is open to unsolicited submissions of quality fiction, short stories in all genres: we accept fantasy, historical, horror, literary, mainstream, humor and satire, mystery, romance, science fiction, speculative fiction, suspense, western, and espionage/thriller. Contemporary also welcome. As long as it is quality. NO erotica, porn, or themes with killers/rapists hurting a child for example.
