Z Nine is an on-line literary quarterly sponsored by The English Department at The University Of Texas At Arlington. Z Nine features original poetry, fiction, nonfiction and graphic-arts. Please note that Z Nine does not offer a print version of the e-zine. In addition, please note that our limited budget does not allow for payment of works accepted for publication.

Fiction:
We are interested in high quality fiction by well-known, little-known and unknown writers. We are interested in the unique voice presented in a clear, concise manner. While we are open-minded, gratuitous violence and/or sex are not acceptable. We consider short fiction up to 7,500 words. Submissions should be double-spaced with one inch margins all around. The author's name and a page number must appear on all pages. Please use the subject line Fiction Submission and include a short bio in the body of the email. All work must be submitted as a Microsoft Word attachment. Other formats will not be opened. We accept simultaneous submissions, but would like to be notified immediately if your work is accepted elsewhere. Please allow 6 weeks after the deadline for consideration of your submission.
