Submit a Novel

 Saturdays and Sundays are serial days at Short Fiction Break!

Every Saturday morning and Sunday night we like to publish novels. We  publish one chapter a week on the site. We will also create a page just for the novel with previous chapters so as readers discover your work they can go back and catch up on what they missed. All of this is free. It’s our desire to help aspiring writers find readers. If you want us to take the novel down off of the site after it has run so you can shop it to agents, we will be happy to do that.

If you have a novel you’ve finished and don’t know what to do with it, we’d love to run it a chapter at a time. To submit your novel to Short Fiction Break, fill out the form below.
