Word count:<\/strong>\u00a01,200\u20136,000 words<\/p>\n Please submit one short fiction piece at a time. Stories shorter than 1,200 words should be submitted under Flash Fiction. Texts should be double-spaced in 12pt Times New Roman or a similar serif typeface.\u00a0Redivider<\/em>\u00a0will happily consider genre fiction with strong enough prose, though hard science fiction, high fantasy, etc. will probably fit better at another journal.<\/p>\n Things we already see a lot of:<\/em> Things we wish we saw more:<\/em> Word count:<\/strong>\u00a01,200 words or less<\/p>\n Please submit no more than three flash fiction pieces per submission. These pieces will be evaluated by the\u00a0Redivider<\/em>\u00a0Fiction Team and published in a dedicated section apart from other full-length short fiction. Texts should be double-spaced in 12pt Times New Roman or a similar serif typeface.<\/p>\n Redivider<\/em>\u00a0prefers flash fiction that tells a whole story or describes a scene or situation. Works that function more as meditations on a subject, or which contain little movement or direction may best be considered prose poetry, and should be submitted under Poetry.<\/p>\n Please see the Fiction guidelines for more guidance on content.<\/p>\n Length guidelines:\u00a0<\/strong>5 poems max, preferably 10\u201360 lines per poem<\/p>\n Please submit no more than five poems per submission, up to ten pages, as a single document. We prefer poems around 10\u201360 lines in length, to best accommodate our online format. We can publish poetry featuring complex enjambment and indentation, but please be reasonable with longer poems, as each work must be carefully typeset, line-by-line, to show up as the artist intended on a web page.<\/p>\n We are looking for new and under-published voices. Submit what you\u2019re worried to send elsewhere. We want poems that circumvent the familiar, that break through abstraction to examine a moment or concept from the side, rather than straight on. We want poems that shift understanding, that reveal core, unexpected truths.<\/p>\n Word count:<\/strong>\u00a06,000 words or less<\/p>\n Please submit a single piece of nonfiction personal essay or memoir to this category. Texts should be double-spaced in 12pt Times New Roman or a similar serif typeface. Journalistic works, criticism and commentary, and texts containing substantial background research should be submitted under Nonfiction.<\/p>\n Word count:<\/strong>\u00a08,000 words or less<\/p>\n Please submit a single piece of cultural commentary\/critique. We accept both casual and academic-style manuscripts for this genre. These may be essays regarding US or non-US culture. Essays in translation are also welcome. Texts should be double-spaced in 12pt Times New Roman or a similar serif typeface.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Redivider\u2019s Summer \u201923 Blurred Genre special edition explores the fluid boundaries between genres.
