Prose Online is a literary journal committed to publishing work made accessible to all.
At prose.onl, we offer an online venue to share prose alongside audio, captioned video, and screen-reader accessible images, so every reader is included. For work accepted after Jan 10, 2023, we pay $50 per piece of writing, upon publication. Prose Online is a project of Poetry Online, a 501(c)(3) non-profit founded in MN.
We have no strict style or theme. We accept submissions of flash and short prose, fiction and nonfiction, both traditional and experimental. For a hint at what we enjoy, check out the prose we love. We aim to publish at least three [3] new writers each month.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Prose Online and its staff from and against any and all claims resulting from a breach of this warranty.
