Dark. Wild. Feminine.
Marrow Magazine is a literary magazine committed to publishing work that explores dark spaces. Send us your monstrous tales, your experiments in darkness, your crepuscular darlings poking their heads out from beneath rocks.
We like it weird!
We publish speculative fiction and nonfiction, magical realism, dark fantasy, surrealism, fabulism, wild fairy tales, and experimental work. We accept poetry, fiction, non-fiction, hybrid, art, and multimedia pieces. Help us challenge the boundaries of what a literary journal can be. Plays, confessions, songs, rituals: as long as it is literary and strange.
We do not charge submissions fees.
We accept submissions year-round. Please allow up to three months for us to respond, as currently we are a three-woman team.
We publish digital issues quarterly, with one new piece releasing each week. Our official issues include all pieces published that quarter as well as extras like author interviews, reviews, and commentary.
If you’d like to submit in a genre, we accept fiction and nonfiction of up to 10,000 words or 3 poems at a time. If you prefer to submit genreless or hybrid work, you can let us know in your email; we can publish with or without classification.
To submit, please use the form below. Use whatever font you like as long as it’s legible, and please keep any personal details off of the submission so we can read it anonymously. Let us know if you’d like us to consider your submission with or without genre.
Please wait until you hear from us to submit again.
We do not consider previously published work, but simultaneous submissions are entirely welcome. Please let us know if your submission is simultaneous and let us know as soon as you can if it’s accepted elsewhere. If we do accept your work, we humbly ask that you withdraw it from consideration elsewhere.
All rights revert back to the writer upon publication.

Thanks, Deborah! That’s awesome.
What a great idea! I will definitely be sharing this with my friends.
