About Us

Bartleby Snopes is an online literary magazine with several goals in mind. We want to publish the best new fiction we can find. We want to give the many writers out there an opportunity to publish their best work. We want to inspire you to create great works of fiction.

We currently publish two stories per week and end each month with a Story of the Month contest. We also publish our favorite stories in a semi-annual magazine format available as a free pdf download every January and July.

Bartleby Snopes takes it name from two wonderful characters in American Literature. Our inspiration and love for short stories comes from Herman Melville's Bartleby, The Scrivener and William Faulkner's Barn Burning. If you haven't read these magnificent stories, please do so when you get a break from your own work.

If you would like to contact us for any reason, we can be reached at contact [at] bartlebysnopes [.] com. For our submission guidlines, head over to the Submissions page.
