About

February 27, 2010

Formerly a deliciously dirty magazine written and published from 2004 to 2009 by one of Montreal’s most notorious columnists, Black Heart has moved south to Austin, Texas. Recommissioned with a license to thrill, you’ll still find the occasional erotic works featured here, but we’ve refocused our aim. We’re looking for fiction that breaks the rules—and maybe a few of our black hearts.

Currently

With a weekly publishing schedule, our website offers new material once a week on Fiction Fridays. Our continuous reading cycle and ongoing acceptance of submissions ensures fresh content is delivered straight to your brainpan on a weekly basis. We’re also looking for work that impresses us enough to be printed in our first anthology. (See our submission guidelines for more details.)

Our Mission

We aim to publish the best in modern literature, from pulp to literary fiction and everything in-between. Genres are declassé, passé, and simply so last century. If it’s got a beating (or dare we say black?) heart, we want it. No more irony, no more clever cheek; just the crisp snap of authenticity slicing through sinews. So bring us your best, and we’ll do the rest.
