Publication Criteria

The section Prose of Il Pietrisco accepts for publication:

• unpublished short stories in English or in Italian
• unpublished and published texts and contents in video format
• unpublished and published e-texts

We ask that, once the directors of the section have committed to publish your texts (in whatever format) in Il Pietrisco, the authors do not publish their new work elsewhere for a period of 9 months. After that initial period, we ask authors to let us know of any intention to publish the same texts in new online or printed sources. 

Annual calls for texts and contents will be published in September with a submission for proposals deadline by the 15th of January. All proposals have to be sent through the dedicated email prose@pietrisco.net

We ask authors to send us an email with 3 different files:

• the content proposal, which should not exceed 300 words;
• a brief author biography (200 words for publication)

The Full Proposal (in an editable .doc or .docx format) must be submitted by 15th July using the template that you will find below. You will find more precise instructions on how and where to submit your final work.

All texts will undergo a double-blind peer review process by expert members of our Editorial Board.
An acceptance notification will be sent to the authors by 30th September.
The texts/contents will be published by 30th December of the same year.
