what are we looking for:
fiction that contains either drama, comedy, horror, light sc-fi, teen, action, gay, lesbian, music, working class, mystery, goth, suburban, urban, dashboard confessional, and experimental. Obviously we are looking for writers who understand story (beginning, middle, and end) and developing characters, but mostly we are looking for honesty, originality, and a VOICE.
1,000 - 4,000 words.
responds in a few weeks.
no payment.
reprints are okay, just make sure you tell me, you have the rights, and where it was first printed so that I can pub it correctly.
what we don't want:
no hardcore sc-fi, no hardcore erotica (porn), definitely nothing with severe abuse against children (graphically killing a child or molesting them), and definitely no whining unless the character learns or changes from it.
your submission:
send a .doc or .rtf as an attachment of an email. use block paragraphs and only double space between paragraphs.
in your email (cover letter) tell me the genre of your story, word count, link to your site if you have one, and a small bio that I can tag at the end of the story.
we retain the rights to your story until the issue is out, then all rights revert back to you.
I will archive the story for 6 months, then remove it. if you need them removed sooner for publishing in another mag, drop me a line.
that's it.
