PF – Off Topic Publishing Seeks Submissions for New Poetry and Flash Fiction Chapbook on Exhaustion:Limited Reserves
A common human experience is exhaustion in its many guises. Feeling used up or worn out. Reaching the limits of our personal and collective resources. Tapping out. Laying waste to the planet. Burning fuel until there’s nothing left but fumes. Covering a topic in its entirety, until everything that could be said has been said.
This chapbook will engage these and other notions of exhaustion.
Submission Guidelines:
Flash Fiction: maximum 1000 words (no minimum). All genres welcome. The more imaginative, the better.
Poems: maximum 60 lines each INCLUDING BLANK LINES (shorter is preferred – long pieces will need to earn their length). All styles welcome.
Payment: $15 CAD upon publication ($10 for reprints)
All payments through PayPal, Wise, or bank transfer.
No submission fee.
Multiple submissions: Yes. You can submit as many pieces as you like. Please submit each poem or story as a NEW SUBMISSION.
