Fiction - 777 words max

Max words: 1

Max words: 777

Sub Genres: All / surprise us, Literary

Payment: £ 5

Seedlings is a handmade book and the type is printed using letterpress. Due to the small dimensions of our book we have to be quite precise with word counts in the main. If your piece is longer we could print it, but the content and quality would have to justify the extra pages. Please send stories up to 777 words. We do accept essays and journalism but would like them to be closely associated with our ethos and values, with a touch of the lyrical.

If your piece is longer we could print it, but the content and quality would have to justify the extra pages. Please send stories up to 777 words. We accept essays and journalism but would like them to be closely associated with our ethos and values of: nature, queerness or the old ways -- with a touch of the lyrical.

Poetry

Max pieces: 5

Payment: £ 5

Please send no more than five poems. We would prefer poetry to be less than 22 lines (including line breaks). Longer poetry will be considered, but it will be less likely to be included in the final edit as it will take two or more pages. We handprint Seedlings on with pages about 15cm squared, so longer poems would will need to justify the extra pages they require!

Art

Max pieces: 5

Payment: £ 5

We are keen to see a wide range of art across a range of mediums and styles. We would especially like to see work using natural and eco-friendly materials. Please send no more than five pieces, but feel free to link your website or portfolio. Please include in your submission email: the name and date of each of your pieces the medium and/or creation process dimensions a high quality JPEG photo If you have work that you’d like to reproduce with eco-friendly materials but haven’t currently got the funds, then please submit your work as it is, and tell us how you envision recreating it. We may be able to fund you. To send us your art please email your work as a high quality .JPEG to mail@seedlings.studio. Please put ‘Art submission’ in the subject line. This is very important as we may miss your submission if you do not. Please also let us know what name you would like to be credited with. Finally in your email, please include some information about yourself as an artist.
