For Page & Screen Magazine exclusively accepts fiction submissions through email ONLY. If you would like to submit, please send an email to forpageandscreen (at) gmail (dot) com with your last name and category of submission in the subject line.

The theme for this submission period is:

Category Guidelines:

Short Stories:

  • We accept all genres of fiction up to 5,000 words in length. You may submit multiple short or flash fiction pieces up to this word count.
  • Please attach your submission as a single document (.doc or .docx) with Times New Roman or other basic font and formatting.
  • We put no restrictions on content but if your work has discriminatory (racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, etc) themes or messages it will not be published.

Scripts & Screenplays:

  • We accept all genres of fiction short scripts up to 45 pages. Unfortunately, we cannot accept documentary treatments at this time.
  • Submissions should be in industry standard format (12pt Courier font, single spaced, appropriate margins). We recommend using free software options such as Celtx if you are unfamiliar with the formatting standard.
  • Scripts should be attached as a single PDF document (we can accept .doc and .docx files but they are not preferred).
  • We put no restrictions on content but if your work has discriminatory (racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, etc) themes or messages it will not be published.

Short Films:

  • We accept fiction short films of any genre up to 45 minutes in length. We won’t refuse a film if it’s a few seconds over, but please don’t take advantage. Unfortunately, we cannot accept documentaries at this time.
  • All films must be in English or have English subtitles. In a perfect world, all films would include subtitles, but we don’t require them.
  • To avoid issues with file size, we ask that you upload your film to YouTube with privacy set to “Unlisted.” Please include the link to this video in your submission email.
  • Films must not be published on other online platforms prior to submitting. However, we do not require any other premier status.
  • If you have a poster or any promotional images you would like featured, please include them as attachments on your email.
  • Please note: If your film is chosen it may negate premier status eligibility when submitting to film festivals.
  • We put no restrictions on content but if your work has discriminatory (racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, etc) themes or messages it will not be published.

If you have any questions about our submission guidelines or about your submission, please feel free to email us and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible!
