AC|DC is always open for submissions from queer writers and artists.

Take a look at what’s on the site to decide if your work might be a good fit. We have a preference for the dark and raw but are open to all.

We are currently accepting all submissions through Duosuma. Submit via the link below. Expect a response within 30 days.

Please report your submissions to Duotrope/Chill Subs/ The Grinder.
