Dark. Disturbing. Defiant.
Damnly Against the Grain.
HORROR, SPECULATIVE, & SURREAL FLASH AND MICROFICTION
WATG Press publishes stories that linger, unsettle, and refuse to behave.
We champion horror, speculative, and surreal flash and microfiction—voices that write against the grain.
We publish:
A flash anthology every two months with open submissions
Special flash, drabble, or microfiction anthologies released throughout the year
Writing Against The Grain, our monthly e-Mag of bold, boundary-breaking work
Single-author flash collections (contact us to submit your project)
Nonfiction books—primarily on writing craft, though we welcome proposals
As we grow, we’re working toward paying all contributors—one project at a time.
Support WATG Press and help us uplift the writers who make this possible.
