Apricot Press is an online literary magazine dedicated to publishing emerging writers. It publishes poetry, short stories, flash fiction, and essays written by fresh and upcoming talent.

As Apricot Press celebrates its third anniversary, we invite you to submit to our current theme, TRANSFORMATION.

What has changed in your life? How do you find yourself changing? What have been your most transformative experiences? What are your favourite examples of transformation in the natural world, or perhaps in folktales and mythology? However you interpret the theme, we want to hear from you.

Send us your poetry, flash fiction, short stories and essays by midnight 4 May 2025. Read more about how to submit to us on our submissions page.

We can’t wait to read your work!
