How It Works

Writers that submit work to Sixfold are expected to particpate in three rounds of voting. In each round, every writer is assigned six (6) manuscripts from other writers for which they will provide feedback and a numeric ranking. At the end of the third round, the top fifteen (15) short stories and the top thirty (30) sets of poems are offered publication in Sixfold, and the highest-voted manuscript in each genre wins $1000.

All issues free to read online in various digital formats, and paperback copies are available for around $10.00 USD.

Voters always discover the best manuscripts. With so much reading and comparison voting, no high-quality manuscripts are missed in a vote. Only the highest-quality manuscripts are selected for publication.

Read manuscripts from the top, middle, and bottom of any vote to see how voters’ ranked preference for any manuscript accurately reflects the manuscript’s overall quality.
