SUMMARY:PFN - Talk Vomit Seeking Submissions on the Theme: The Uncanny
DESCRIPTION:Submissions\n\n \n\n  \nSummer quarterly submissions are open until June 7. \nTHEME: \nOur summer edition theme is the uncanny\, however you interpret that. What happens when settings look fine — happy\, even — on the surface\, only for a distortion to be lurking just out of sight? What can the uncanny help us understand about ourselves\, our relationships\, our communities? \nSubmissions may be sent using this Google Form. \nWe manage submissions through Google Forms\, linked above. \nThe details: \n\nNon-fiction under 4\,000 words\, fiction under 2\,000\, and poetry just generally kept to a minimum\nPlease submit one prose piece or two poems.\nTurnaround times vary. Expect a response within approximately one month of submissions closing.\nTalk Vomit believes wholeheartedly in simultaneous submissions and raises their eyebrows at places that don’t. BUT\, if your piece is accepted elsewhere\, please email talk@talkvomit.com as soon as you can. If you don’t\, it stands to be quite embarrassing for both of us.\nTalk Vomit asks for first serial rights. We aim to share most work on our website\, our Substack\, and in print\, as space allows. Upon initial publication\, all rights revert back to you\, although we ask you credit Talk Vomit in the event of republication.\n\nSome stuff we particularly like: \n\nGothic stories. Not high fantasy stuff\, usually\, but moody and atmospheric pieces that take a microscope to the underbelly of our communities and relationships\nFlash satire\nEssays that weave first-person with cultural criticism; essays with a fresh coming-of-age narrative (one can come of age at many times in their life\, in many ways; Monica is currently particularly interested in coming-of-age stories related to motherhood\, fwiw)\nCultural criticism\, in general\nBook reviews\, especially those in the 300-600 word range — unless you’re baking in some first-person narrative and lengthier criticism. If that’s the case\, follow our general nonfiction word limit.\nSerial stories. Feel free to pitch one at talk@talkvomit.com. Let’s get Dickensian about it.\n\nAt the end of the day\, we’re curating each quarterly to fit a theme and meet our editorial needs. We say no to a lot of a solid pieces that we simply don’t have room for. Don’t hesitate to submit to the next round if your piece is not accepted. \nIf your piece is a thinly-veiled homage to Lolita\, we will delete it without response. Read something else. \nPayment: We’re very pleased to pay our contributors thanks to print zine sales and supporters of our Substack. Our rates are DIY-zine rates\, but we hope they will increase. Fiction and nonfiction run in the $10-30 range; poetry in the $5-15 range. The rate will be higher for print exclusives. We issue honraria via Venmo and PayPal.
