The power of storytelling is what women and men have used throughout history to help shape their communities and forge their own paths. Fiction can take one away to an imaginary world or cause one to pause and self-reflect. It can make us laugh, cry, and even change our way of life.

This is the type of fiction Mused - the BellaOnline Literary Review seeks to publish: stories that enchant, delight, reflect on womanhood, femininity, men relating to women, families, self-growth, change, or courage. Of course, we remain open to any good fiction, so do not look at these guidelines as all-inclusive.

The best writing, the clever and artistic use of language, plot and character which will attract the Fiction Editorial Board to publishing your piece.

Details:

Please send up to five original stories of no more than 5,000 words in length. No gratuitous or graphic violence, porn, or overly moralistic stories, please. No serialized stories please.
