Do You Have Any Cover Letter Advice?
It is always a good idea to make your letter personal by giving some indication that you have spent time with the journal. Or, for fun, make your letter interesting. Surprise us. Who knows, we might publish it. We have before . . .
What Do You Look For In A Submission?
First and foremost, we are looking for work that is language driven and form forward. We are first looking for work that is aesthetically ambitious and willing to explore the boundaries between genres, or even ignore them altogether.
What Advice Do You Have For First-time Submitters?
Read a couple of issues before submitting. See if you think your work is a good fit for the journal.
Do You Have A Favorite Unsolicited Submission Discovery Or Anecdote?
In our first call for submissions for our very first issue, we received a video story on a compact disc. We hadn't planned for video content, especially a story in video format. We knew immediately we had stumbled on to something important.
Who Is Your Ideal Reader?
Our ideal reader appreciates ambitious aesthetics, a variety of style, and diverse voices from new and established writers alike. They seek out work that bends genres, and work by marginalized voices and authors from underrepresented communities.
