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. Email submissions will not be read.

Regular Submissions: We aim to respond within 30 days, but it can take as long as 60 days.

Tip Jar Submissions: For a tip of $5.00, you can skip the line and receive a response within 3 days. Please note in the cover letter section of your submission : "Tip Jar"

If you'd like to show your support with an amount less than $5.00, you won't skip the line, but you will earn a special place in AC|DC's heart.

Tips do not sway our decision.

If you have any questions, email submissions@acdclit.com.

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