PFN – Call for Submissions to Instant Noodles Holiday Issue: “Holiday Noods”

Holiday Issue (V4 I3): Holiday Noods

HOLIDAY NOODS is our 2024 winter holiday theme. Give us your best holiday fails (any December holiday, from Hannukah, to Solstice, to NYE, etc.) or your best funny work about noodles that happens to ALSO be holiday-themed in some way. The point of the end-of-year issue is always to be light-hearted to downright silly.

Submissions close OCTOBER 15, 2024 and the issue publishes DECEMBER 1, 2024.

PLEASE NOTE LENGTH REQUIREMENT:

All submissions must be between 1 and 500 words. So, if you submit two poems, each poem must be 500 words or less. One piece of fiction, 500 words or less, and so on.

There is no submission fee for authors, and no cost for readers. All content will be publicly available within the INSTANT NOODLES website .https://instantnoodleslitmag.com/

We promise a tasty collection of works you’re guaranteed to enjoy!

Please note:

Profanity should appear in the piece only when it adds to the impact or authenticity of the piece.

No hate: nothing that disparages people for things they cannot help like weight, gender, sexual orientation, pronouns, etc. This is not the place to complain that you don’t like something.

If your piece is off-topic it will not be accepted no matter how wonderful it is. Please be mindful of the themes. Same goes for length. Please be mindful of word counts/length for videos, etc. as they are indicated in the call.

We do not discuss why pieces are, or are not, accepted. If your piece is not chosen we simply state: this is not the piece we are looking for at this time.

Know your publication: you will do better submitting to Instant Noodles if you have read a recent issue.

Instant Noodles is always FREE to read and to submit. Many people volunteer their time to put it together, and those chosen are not paid for their submissions, but we do submit to Pushcart and Best of the Net awards annually.
