It’s summer and the hermit crabs are everywhere! In honor of their shelled and many-legged goodness, the Icebreakers are requesting all submissions be hermit crab pieces. We\u2019re open for CNF, poetry, fiction, and that in-between stuff as long as it:<\/p>\n

1. is collaborative (two or more creators, and if you don\u2019t already have a buddy, come play spin the bottle with us)<\/p>\n

2. borrows from an existing form (this is what makes it a hermit crab piece)! Send us a poem written in the form of a recipe, a CNF in the form of a parking ticket, micro fiction written as an astrology-a-day summary, visual art that’s an ad for a strange toy, etc. Whatever you want! Just make it hermit crab-y!<\/p>\n

All\u00a0general submission guidelines<\/a>\u00a0apply, so give those a glance if you\u2019re new here. As always, don\u2019t overthink it, have fun, get weird.<\/p>\n

Collaboration<\/strong><\/p>\n

At our minty liquid core, Icebreakers is about fostering connection within the lit community. As such, general and themed submissions should \u00a0be the work of two or more authors \/ artists (no max). If you\u2019re coming to the party with collaborators already in mind, great! If not, please see our \u201cspin the bottle\u201d opportunity\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0(only available for artists that are 18+).<\/p>\n

What we accept<\/strong><\/p>\n

Icebreakers is interested in poetry, flash, art, fiction, essays, creative nonfiction (CNF), that weird little thing you wrote in your notes app but don\u2019t know what to call, etc. We want your art, and we know that art comes in many glorious forms. We aren\u2019t too picky about rules, but to keep this reasonable, here are a few requests:<\/p>\n
