PFN – Shooter Literary Magazine Seeking Submissions on: Coming of Age
Writers should send short stories and non-fiction of 2,000-6,000 words and/or up to three poems on the theme Coming of Age, adhering to the guidelines below, by the deadline of October 20, 2024.
We’re looking for stories, essays, memoir and poetry on anything to do with the transition to adulthood: first love, hormonal angst, Saturday jobs, brushes with the law, experimentation, gaining independence, losing virginity. Literary reflections on books that made an impact during late adolescence would make particularly welcome essays. Tales of college and first steps on the career ladder are also relevant.
The theme is open to wide interpretation, but please adhere to the submission guidelines. In addition to thematic relevance, we seek engaging, elegant writing that maintains a high literary standard.
Documents should be in Word format, 1.5 or double spaced, with word count indicated at the end of the (prose) piece. Please submit only one piece of prose and/or up to three poems per issue.
Please include a brief biography in your email, noting any prior publishing experience, and send work to submissions.shooterlitmag@gmail.com by October 20th.
Simultaneous submissions are fine but please let us know if your work is accepted elsewhere. Any non-fiction or journalistic work selected for publication will be fact-checked. All work must be previously unpublished either in print or online.
Successful writers can expect to hear from us within a few weeks of the deadline, if not before; all other submitters will be informed of the outcome within two months.
