Although the subheading of
Up&Coming Magazine is African-American Short Fiction, the term does not
necessarily refer to you as a person or your story's content. Up&Coming
Magazine was created as a result of what we consider to be a lack of
African-American representation within the literary world as a whole. It is
not our intention to limit anyone's creative scope. We want people of color
to write what they want to write!

-
Up&Coming Magazine is a
modestly paying publication.
