Redneck Press/Tough
There are presently no open calls for submissions.
ALL SUBMISSIONS CLOSED AS OF 7/8/25
Tough is a crime fiction journal and publisher considering short stories, self-contained novel excerpts and essays between 1500 words and 7500 words, and occasional book reviews of 1500 words or fewer. As of 1/15/24 we are considering novella(s) and short story collections between 15 and 40K in length.
We are particularly interested in stories with rural settings. We are not interested in science fiction or fantasy, except for stories in which those elements accentuate or play a major role in a crime. We are a crime journal. Our book reviews will reflect these interests. We ask for first world and electronic rights.
