Bottle Rocket is a literary magazine publishing works of prose under 700 words. Like the magazine’s name suggests we are looking for work that soars before bursting into wild sounds and colors. Short prose that dazzles and leaves an impression long after it has been read.

There are no hard and steadfast guidelines here other than that the work should be original, previously unpublished and skew literary. We accept submissions and publish on a rolling basis. To submit, email up to 3 stories as a .doc or .docx file to bottlerocketlitmag@gmail.com

We aim to respond to all submissions within one week, though likely much faster.
