Submit Prose
If your fiction is more poetry than prose, then submit here. We want language-focused prose. We're looking for prose pieces that are evocative, thought-provoking, and have beautiful language. We like surreal, slipstream -- in other words, genre bending works, in addition to more traditional short prose. We like the gothic tone, but please no werewolf/vampire themes. We prefer shorter works, up to 750 words. We are pretty strict on this word limit. Please send us both fiction and nonfiction with the understanding that we prefer language over story. There is no need for a determined beginning, middle, and end. We want the different and the unusual, using showing language rather than telling the reader how to think, feel, etc. Hybrid work, experimental and innovative work is of interest. We stray away from work that includes violence toward women or children and other groups of people. We are VERY picky about the prose we accept and urge you to read an issue or two before submitting.
Submit Poetry
Simply put, we are looking for poetry that moves us through specific language, through original images, and that pays attention to each individual line. We want poems that linger, that leave us in wonder. Great poetry should make you have to catch your breath after reading it and that's exactly what we're wanting to find. We prefer shorter works (2 pages or less) but will consider longer pieces. We want work that relies on images, rather than rant poetry, and we don't tend to publish rhyming poetry - it's simply not of our personal tastes. Be sure to submit multiple poems so we can get a sense of your work.
