We are looking for essays (up to 3000 words), non fiction shorts, "Top 5" lists, photos, or any general musings about the New York City subway system. At this time we are not accepting fiction or plays. Due to the overwhelming number of poetry submissions, as of the November 2006 issue, we will take a hiatus from accepting poetry. We hope to resume again in 2007.

Send complete manuscript by email to (submissions AT thesubwaychronicles DOT com). Include a short cover letter with estimated word count, bio and contact info. We will accept simultaneous submissions and multiple submissions (limit 3). Please type "Submission" in the subject line. We get so much spam.

To submit your essay for consideration, attach a file in text format or copy into the body of the email. To submit a photo, attach the file in .jpg format. You must have all rights to your original essay or photo.

Payment for the "Featured Essay of the Month" is $20.00, made payable through PayPal. At this time we can only offer payment for featured essays.

We like to give each submission the time deserves. Please be patient when awaiting a response to your submission.
