6. Bunker Squirrel submissions should include links to any books or previous works you would like highlighted at the bottom of your story page.

Please understand, we need these things included in every submission. We cannot track down these details for every author every time. It is too time intensive. Please do us the courtesy of including this information so we can better support you. It helps us avoid charging for services we would prefer to keep free.

-We are a community of authors, if you need help, just ask. Our editor is happy to work with you.
-If you are struggling with your story? Do not be afraid to email and ask for help, if it is far enough in advance, our editor may have time to provide advice. If it is close to the 20th, she will be reviewing submissions—ask, but be aware, there is a lot going on.
-We WILL NOT accept any submissions on the topic of Religion or Politics, as well as submissions containing language that is racist or derogatory to any minority group including sexual orientation. Our goal is to draw readers in, not to exclude. It is a subjective process, but the first priority is to treat every reader and author in high regard. If at any time you feel we are missing the mark, please email [email protected].

~The Editor-In-Chief will email authors to inform them if their story will be featured in
​Bunker Squirrel Magazine 20 to 25 days after the sub window closes.
