  • Additional info

    Payment: $10 per final printed page and two free contributor’s copies Remove any identifying information from both the submitted manuscript and the file name as well. All genres are welcome, but especially those that celebrate the weird, take risks with form and content, and are driven by a strong, unique voice. Submit as many pieces as you’d like.
