SUMMARY:F - F(r)iction's Short Story Contest
DESCRIPTION:Deadline: Nov 1\, 2022\nResults: Announced March 18\, 2023\nPrize: $1000 \nLimit: 7\,500 words \nFor full Submission Guidelines\, please read the information on our Submittable page carefully.  And please visit our formatting guidelines page to properly format your work for submission. We won’t reject a submission flat out for not following guidelines\, but we will frown the whole time we’re reading. \nAn insider tip for you all: We seek work that actively pushes boundaries\, that forces us to question traditions and tastes. If your work takes risks\, we want to read it. We like strong narratives that make us feel something and stories we haven’t seen before. To get an idea of the kind of work we look for\, please check out this page from our editors detailing what we look for in our submissions. \nWe also strongly recommend checking out a past issue of F(r)iction before submitting to our contests to get an idea of our general publishing aesthetic. We have several pieces available online\, but there’s nothing like holding a glossy\, full-color issue in your hands. You can check out all of our issues in our shop. \nWe accept work\, written in English\, from anywhere in the world—regardless of genre\, style\, or origin—and welcome speculative writing and experimental literature. Strange is good. Strange with a strong character arc is even better. Keep it weird\, folks.

SUMMARY:PFN - THEMA Call for Submissions: "So THAT's Why"
DESCRIPTION:Be sure to Indicate target theme in cover letter or on first page of manuscript. \nShort Stories: All types welcome―both traditional and experimental \nSend to: Virginia Howard\, editor\, Box 8747\, Metairie\, LA 70011-8747 \nOutside the US: email to Virginia Howard at thema@cox.net \n\n\n\n\n\nWhat we like: a carefully constructed plot; good character delineation; clever plot twists \nWhat we don’t like: bedroom/bathroom profanity.  Why? \n\nIt’s boring! Writers should be more creative than to depend on the same tired and dubious language crutches to express surprise\, disdain\, shock\, bemusement\, anger\, sadness\, and other emotions.\nSuch profanity\, used in excess\, often serves as a camouflage for a weak plot. If the plot is good\, the story can be told much more effectively in nonscatologic language even though a character in the story may be sleazy.\nStories of lasting quality rarely need it.\n\nPoetry: All types of poetic form welcome. Submit no more than three poems per theme\, please. If more than three poems are submitted\, we will read only the first three poems in the stack. \nSend to: Gail Howard\, poetry editor\, Box 8747\, Metairie\, LA 70011-8747 \nOutside the US: email to Gail Howard at thema@cox.net \nWhat we like: poems that are thoughtfully constructed and carefully distilled. \nWhat we don’t like: sexually explicit wording. Subtlety is more creative. \n\n\n\n\nTHEMA isn’t for everyone. To find out why\, click here. \nNew to submitting manuscripts to journals?\nClick here to download a PDF file of a few basic guidelines. \nOn acceptance for publication\, we will pay the following amount: short story\, $25; short-short piece (up to 1000 words)\, $10; poem.
