Mikrokosmos Literary Journal only prints Wichita State University students, staff, and alumni. If you are not affiliated with WSU, please see our mojo submissions! See you there!

We are interested in stories that excite us with innovation in form, structure, and language; above all, we’re looking for stories that connect us, touch us, and revolutionize our worlds. Experimental or not, please send us a manuscript of under 6,000 words. If you’re submitting flash fiction, include up to three stories in a single document. To be considered flash fiction, your stories must be 500 words in length or under.

In the appropriate field of the submission manager please include your contact information: your name and email. A brief bio is welcomed, but optional. Do not put your name or any identifying information anywhere on your manuscript.  If you have flash fiction accepted elsewhere, please add a note to your submission to let us know which must be withdrawn from consideration. Do not withdraw the entire submission if one or more of your flash fiction pieces are still available.

We are interested in poems that blur contemporary styles with traditional modes, poems that light up with raw energy but point in a specific direction, and poems that push through leaps of image and gesture but resound with a strong emotional core. Above all, we enjoy poems that are willing to take risks while maintaining clarity of expression. Send up to 3 poems or 5 pages maximum, all in one document. If you have a single long poem that exceeds 5 pages, we welcome you to submit it as an exception to the page-limit rule and as the totality of your submission. Unfortunately, we will not be accepting epics or individual poems longer than 10 pages.

We enjoy creative nonfiction pieces that embrace the tactics of fiction but don’t shy away from the innovative and the experimental—in fact, we’re rather interested in what you can show us—but keep in mind we’re looking for engaging nonfiction stories, not journalism or academic essays. Submissions should not exceed 6,000 words.

We want to see art that is driven and art that drives. Show us fear, love, loss, redemption, and passion in brush brushstrokes and contours. Give us a fleeing moment captured or truth in a landscape. We are accepting paintings, drawings, photography, and all mediums which can be rendered visually. Unfortunately, we can't support audio or video for our print journal, but we welcome all visual art. Send up to 5 pieces for us to review.

We are accepting submissions for our Horror Fiction Contest. This contest is open to Wichita State University students, faculty, staff, and alumni, exclusively. In your bio, please state your affiliation with the university.

We are looking for bone-chilling, atmospheric spookiness that builds up and lingers long afterwards. We are accepting fiction and flash fiction pieces that are horror or horror-themed. That being said, we are a university journal and cannot and will not condone works of gratuitous violence, gore, pornographic material, or that promote harmful or discriminatory practices or beliefs. We don't need PG horror, but we do need something that belongs in print and can be distributed on campus.

Speaking of distribution, our contest winners will be printed and distributed in a printed booklet, just in time for the spooky season.

Fiction requirements: no more than 3000 words.

Flash Fiction requirements: up to 3 pieces in a single document and no more than 500 words each.

Do your best and send your worst!
