Call for Submissions

Hey—opened a new lit mag on a whim and figured I’d see what happens.

It’s called The Itch. I’m looking for short work that sticks—something with texture, something that lingers a little.

Details:

•	fiction / CNF / short prose

•	≤1000 words (450–700 is the sweet spot)

•	no fee to submit

•	payment: none (for now—just getting this off the ground)

Deadline:

rolling submissions (open until I close it)

Rights:

The Itch takes first electronic rights. Rights revert to the author upon publication. Please credit The Itch if republished elsewhere. Work will remain archived on the site.

Submit:

theitchlit@gmail.com

Subject line: Submission: Story Title

Include a short 3rd-person bio in the body.

Response time: ~2 weeks.

Not looking for anything overly polished—just something that feels like a person wrote it.
