If you are tired of formatting issues,

“name on top left, name on top right, name in subject line, no identifying information on the submission, etc.”,

if you are tired of paying $3.00 Submittable for the privilege of providing the very content that justifies the reason there is a publication in the first place,

if you are tired of themed submissions,

you might like us at Better Than The Times.

We are interested in your poetry, your short fiction (or excerpts from your novel, published or upcoming), your social, political, economic, and other essays, your food, restaurant, travel, book, art, theater, and movie reviews.

Note: we are a left wing anti-establishment, in every sense of the word, publication, so we aren’t a home for right wing stuff, we publish ALL poetry and fiction we find to be good enough. Good enough means we like it, not whether you have won a Pulitzer, or Pushcart, etc.

There is a form you fill out, and if we like your stuff, we publish it, if we don’t, we don’t. No hoops to jump thru. We publish 4 times per year and take submissions year round. The deadline is a moving target, depending on how much good content we already have, currently we are still taking submissions for our July 31 issue.

Go to our website and fill out the submission form at: https://betterthanthetimes.com/
