Fiction submissions:
- We're looking for short works, 1-2 pages.
- Make sure it's well edited, spell checked, and for god's sake let's get the punctuation right.
- Topics are limitless, but we like subtle humor, edgy/experimental writing, and stories where things actually happen. We don't like stories about vampires, dragons, and the one story everyone writes in freshman writing class about taking a road trip out to the desert to do drugs and then nothing happens.
- And make sure it's good, but only for the love of words, because we aren't paying you.
- Once you have something that looks like we might take it, email it to shiftfreedom2010@gmail.com with "fiction submission" in the subject line.
Poetry submissions:
- As far as length goes, the concern isn't about word count, but about having to scroll down forever. Try to keep it to about 2 pages or shorter.
- Cool fonts and layout work look awesome, and we wish we could make that work, but we can't. Keep it to a reasonably standard format.
- The only real restriction for content is melodramatic poetry attempting to describe an intangible feeling of longing.
- Sorry folks, no payment.
- Send your package to shiftfreedom2010@gmail.com with "poetry submission" for the subject.
