PF – Troublemaker Firestarter Seeking Submissions on the Theme: Heartbreaker
December 15, 2024 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
Potential poems/stories should be weird and uncomfortable. Don’t worry if you think you won’t fit. Submit anyway! This volume will be in print like our first seven volumes and available on our website to purchase when printed.
Please consider reading our past volumes if you aren’t sure of our vibes, but it is not necessary.
The theme is heartbreaker, but if you feel like your work is troubling or would start a fire, you’re in the right place.
RULES
- 5 poems max
- 2500 words max for fiction and nonfiction
- 5 art pieces max
- We accept photography, digital art, paintings, drawings, and mixed media.
- In 3-6 sentences for your cover letter, say who you are, if you’ve been published, and where before.
- We do not accept multiple submissions from the same author in the same volume.
- Simultaneous submissions are allowed, but please notify us if your work is accepted elsewhere. If this is the case, please ensure to withdraw your submission.
- The volume will be published in print.
- We will submit a select few for the following Pushcart Prize. If you have any questions, email us @ troublemakerfirestarter@gmail.com
- you gotta have fun, but, baby, when you’re done, you gotta be the first to run.
- just don’t get attached to somebody you could lose.
- wear your heart on your cheek, but never on your sleeve, unless you wanna taste defeat.
- gotta be looking pure, kiss them goodbye at the door, and leave them wanting more, more.
