QUICK, SEND US YOUR SMART MICROS USING THE BUTTON ABOVE!

          Submissions to The Dribble Drabble Review are closed until Summer 2026 for our Fall '26 Issue (due to the editor's PhD work and family eldercare concerns). This carefully curated, biannual, literary e-zine advocates for all things little-ature. Our global fan base of international writers continues to deliver exceptional short-form compositions, and we invite you to become one of them! TDDR is open themed. Dribbles must be 50 words with Drabbles at 100 words (exactly... not including titles). Send only original, unpublished entries to the editor via the submit button above; send up to five entries in each category, formatted as you like (we're not uptight :), with your name, country of residence, and brief bio not exceeding 50 words. Submit prose, poetry, or prose poetry for that matter! The re-opening of subs and ensuing deadline will be announced with proper notice. Regrettably, ONLY ACCEPTED SUBMISSIONS WILL BE NOTIFIED within 60 days of delivery: due to the high number of entries.

          Too, entrants agree that submission in and of itself will serve as an author's permission to publish (with first electronic and non-exclusive archival rights) as well as the right to publish in future print collateral. Simultaneous entries are permissible, but notify us if your piece is selected elsewhere in order to pull it from our pool of prospects. Rights revert to the author upon production of the next sequential edition of TDDR. We do require, in regard to reprints, that TDDR be indicated as your piece's original publisher. We will do our best to accommodate special formatting, while we also reserve the right to edit upon need. Please abstain from sending erotica, politically infused or discriminatory / hate-related themes. This is a non-monetary opportunity, but there is also no cost to submit. Compensation will consist of supporting our writers with quality presentations of their work, a strong artistic community, and individual promotion.

This is such a gorgeous issue! I've been reading

it all week. The work is moving, sizzling, funny,

sad, insightful: everything you want in a literary journal and everything so much bigger than the word count. - Susan Morehouse, Author, USA

TDDR does it right! - Meg Pokrass,

What a gorgeous

publication the The Dribble

Drabble Review is. And full of gorgeous

50-word and 100-word stories. So it's

wonderful to see my little essay on the

art of brevity in such an artful

journal. - Grant Faulkner, Author of

The Art of Brevity, USA
