Theme: “Pop”"},"content":{"rendered":"

Every issue has a theme from which writers and artists can draw inspiration. We encourage those who submit to think outside the box; we look for stories that fit the theme yet make us think about it in different ways; we want work that satisfies and challenges traditional forms of storytelling.<\/p>\n

The theme for our ninth annual issue is “POP!”<\/p>\n

Read more about how to submit below!<\/p>\n

POP!:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s a bang from a child squeezing a balloon too tightly, the disgusting ooze of a burst pimple, or a hit song that sets hips swaying, \u201cPOP!\u201d demands a reaction.<\/p>\n

It conjures sweet and bubbly memories, like popping beers and popcorn while rooting for pop flies at the ballpark\u2014perhaps with your Pops. It describes music and art and culture, as well as colors and flavors and comic-book sound effects.<\/p>\n

But \u201cPOP!\u201d can also pack a punch. Balloons pop when the air pressure inside becomes stronger than the material containing it\u2014a violent return to equilibrium when force is unevenly distributed.<\/p>\n

For Vol. IX, we\u2019re seeking that surprise inherent in a \u201cPOP!\u201d and the conflict that arises from it, characters and ideas that burst off the page, in language that crackles and snaps.<\/p>\n

Submissions for Vol. IX will be open September 15\u2013December 31.<\/strong><\/h3>\n
