Rural Fiction Magazine was established to explore the beauty and drama of rural life around the world. As of September 20, 2023, we have had readers from forty-six nations.*

Rural Fiction Magazine seeks primarily mainstream/literary stories and poetry set in the rural US or rural areas around the globe. Although we may take occasional forays into other genres, all works we publish will be related in some fashion to rural areas. Therefore, the mainstream and literary genres seem most suitable for our mission.

We intend to start out by publishing a few stories weekly, depending on the amount of submissions we receive. We are capping the word limit at 7,500. See the Submissions page for details.

Response time may range from a day to a month but will most likely be within a week. Send all submissions and inquiries to slatterypublishing@gmail.com.

RFM will publish interviews with notable writers and poets. This may be sporadic initially. This will be by invitation only.

Our business plan, initially, is to profit from advertising sales, donations, and maybe have a Patreon or similar account down the road. We will also offer gift shops and affiliate marketing.
