Our Reading Period is closed until September 1st, 2008
-----------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL GUIDELINES
When accepting submissions, we look for idiosyncratic literary pieces that challenge everything else that ends up filling the shelves of chain stores littered across the country. Those looking for fame need not apply. Instead, those whose writing challenges the mold, works against the metaphorical grain. We like good writing, who doesn't, but it also has to catch our attention somehow. Satires, absurdity, form stretching free style prose are all goodies for us. We like when you bend the rules a little and things become messy and a little strange. For more guidelines, refer to our recommended reading list.
Submissions are not being accepted at this time.
