Bewildering Stories has the simplest submissions guideline on the Internet: “Please send us something, we’ll be glad to consider it. If we have questions, we’ll ask.”

The rest of the Submissions page is a reference work. We link to parts of it, as needed, to keep correspondence simple. We also have a concise summary of the 12 most frequent problems found in submissions and our recommended remedies: The Review Readers’ Checklist.
