At Hinterland we are committed to publishing the best in creative non-fiction from around the globe. We are always thrilled to feature work from established, well-known authors but have a particular interest in discovering new voices and in pieces that sit outside the usual categories: we ask only that it be a work of non-fiction. 

We pay for all the work that we publish and receive interest from agents and publishers regarding our contributors. 

As well as longer-form pieces, we are currently looking for 'flash' pieces of non-fiction; anything between 250 and 1250 words. PLEASE NOTE that any piece that does not comply with this word count will be immediately declined without being read. If you have a longer piece of work that you’d like us to consider, please submit this via our Non-Fiction Open Call, which opens 3-4 times a year. 

• We warmly embrace writing on any topic, or from any genre, we ask only that it falls somewhere in the realm of non-fiction writing. 
• All work should be new, previously unpublished material. 
• We accept simultaneous submissions. If your work is accepted elsewhere, please kindly let us know.
• Please submit your work in a legible 12pt font and double-spaced.
• We define flash non-fiction as anything between 250-1250 words. Please also include the word count of your submission(s) in your cover letter.
• Your work will be considered for all upcoming issues; it might help you to know that we operate a 4- to 5-month editorial lead time. 
• We pay £25 for each published flash piece.
• We charge a small readers' fee of £3 for all submissions. Please get in touch with us if this fee presents a hardship for whatever reason. Subscribers can submit their work to us for free.
• For flash non-fiction you can submit up to 3 articles as part of the same submission. Please do not submit the same piece to multiple calls – we will always consider a piece for all open calls, where appropriate.  
•  We regret that, due to the number of submissions received, we are not able to provide feedback. 

Hinterland Magazine is pleased to be open once again for submissions for a special issue on the subject of "Journeys" to be published in Late 2024. Based on the Oxford English Dictionary’s definition of "travel: to make a journey of some length", we are looking for creative non-fiction that redefines travel writing. Surprise and amaze us with your work about journeys and voyages through places, spaces and time by 23.59 GMT on 13th September 2024.
