PFN – orangepeel literary magazine Issue 8.5 Theme: Bubblegum
submission requirements:
what do we want?
-We are seeking unpublished prose and poetry!
- Posting your work on social media does not count as publication and we’re happy to consider anything you’ve shared in this manner. Work that has been published in other magazines, zines, journals, online publications, books, etc. is considered published and not eligible for this magazine.
-We consider simultaneous submissions, assuming that you contact us if another publication plans to publish a work that you submitted to orangepeel. If you’re unfamiliar with simultaneous submission etiquette, this is a good resource.
-We primarily conduct submissions through our Google Form.
-We don’t consider artist bios alongside works and they will be ignored if included in a document.
-Please submit each work separately.
–orangepeel asks for the First Serial Rights to published works.
written submissions
-Written work can be original prose, poetry, prosetry, flash, essays, missives, and more. It can be fiction or creative nonfiction. Please no articles, critical essays, or translations of another person’s work. We welcome toying with form/hybrid approaches.
–2500 words or less please! We check the word count before reading.
-We will consider work in various languages. For written work, we ask that an English translation is provided if the full original piece is not in English. If you speak languages other than English, we totally encourage your use of those languages in your piece!
-By submitting your work, you allow our staff to make grammar and spelling edits where needed. If your work is accepted and we believe that any more substantial edits are required, we will ask you before making them.
-We have a limit of two submissions per category per person. We consider prose and poetry as one category.
-Please submit written work as Word docs or Google Docs. We do not consider .pdfs, .pages, or .txt files.
We will be considering pop culture reviews for the bubblegum half issue. Reviews may be of any media and must follow the above requirements for written submissions.
