We Want It All

We want to read your fiction and poetry, and we want to see your photography and art.

Send your submission any time but we will not be looking at new work until April 2010.

THIS IS IMPORTANT: In the SUBJECT line of your email type in either FICTION SUBMISSION or POETRY SUBMISSION (or IMAGE SUBMISSION). Give us two words!! We are discarding as spam emails that do not have these subject headings.

For fiction and poetry paste one fiction or one poem into the text of an email, and/or attach your work in a Word document, rtf, or txt. (If your attachment is in some other kind of file format we will discard it.) Limit your fiction to 3500 words or less.

We will look at submissions that you are sending to other publishers simultaneously but please tell us that this is what you're doing, and let us know if your submission is accepted for publication by someone else.

For photography and art (including comics, graphic novel excerpts, and cartoons) send us a jpg file no bigger than 500k. We are looking for black and white and colour photos, and art that challenges boundaries, that’s stunning, brilliant, beautiful, and juxtaposes parallels overlooked by the average eye, yes even that!! (We don't look at links to website galleries of images, attach a jpg file of the single image you think will wow us.)

Write a cover letter telling us a little about your life, your writing or art.

After sending us your submission wait until we respond before submitting again. We will respond in between four and six months. Yeah, four to six months, but hey we accept simultaneous submissions.

We don’t comment or make suggestions.

We may modify these guidelines from time to time so check us out each time you submit.
