Submissions are open for Issue 20 until June 1, publishing on July 15 for the All-Star Game.

Fiction

We are interested in short stories around 3,000 words. Longer stories are possible, but rarely is more better.

We are looking for writing that displays a strong personal style and a connection to the game of baseball. Most of all, we are excited by stories that situate baseball in a broader context, beyond the action of an individual game or at-bat. The more surprising connection to baseball, the better. There is a $25 honorarium per short story.

Creative Nonfiction

Creative Nonfiction at The Twin Bill is a place for experimental writing on the modern game. We’re looking for contemporary storytellers who make us question our understanding of America’s pastime.

There are no formal requirements or word count.

There is a $15 honorarium per accepted piece.

Poetry

Please send up to five poems per issue. There is a $10 honorarium per poem.

Guidelines

There is a $3 submission fee. We will publish it online and in our print edition. Writers retain all rights to their work. Please send all written submissions as a Word doc along with a short bio and any social media you want us to plug. We are only interested in previously unpublished work. Simultaneous submissions are fine, but please let us know if it is accepted elsewhere. Send any questions or ideas to scott@thetwinbill.com. We would love to hear from you.
