About us

Welcome to Gold Dust magazine! We promote exciting and original prose and poetry, while also featuring a wide range of articles on writing-related topics.

There are many, many literary magazines on the market already - around 350 in UK alone* - why another? We founded Gold Dust because wanted to create something fresh and new by publishing off-beat, original pieces from all genres in one place - which is why you'll find a quirky film script alongside an avant-garde poem, followed by the funniest flash fiction you've ever read - we put it all together and the result is pure Gold Dust!

As small press magazines are often one-person shows, it's understandable that many never make it past their first anniversary, but the Gold Dust team (currently made up of 5 writers & editors) has been producing quality issues of our magazine since 2004, proving that we are a powerful force in this saturated field.

• Every issue of Gold Dust is downloaded by over 400 readers.

• Gold Dust magazine is 52 pages of quality writing, including short stories, poems, articles, interviews and reviews. We publish 2 issues a year.

• It costs nothing to submit to Gold Dust magazine and our favourite piece wins a book!

• All of us at Gold Dust are volunteers, so every penny of your subscriber fees goes towards keeping your magazine alive!

We are always looking for quality work from new or experienced writers. Please read all our submission guidelines carefully before submitting work.
