How it Works

Each month, Stranger Fiction Press selects one real headline and throws it open to its community of writers, who have until the 17th to submit their original short stories in a variety of available genres.

Submissions are reviewed by the Stranger Fiction Press Editorial Team and online readers, with winners earning prizes — and a touch of literary fame.

What begins as headline absurdity becomes creative gold: reimagined, retold, and reshaped by writers who find the extraordinary in the everyday. Over time, STFP curates these stories into themed collections published online and in print — a living archive of how truth and imagination intersect.

Because sometimes, the world really does write the best fiction.
