What happens when settings look fine \u2014 happy, even \u2014 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?<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Submissions may be sent\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLScr599cF-8PHyXmiugksOr-Ly-qJH63ulz51EODg9d5LXUVsA\/viewform?usp=dialog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">using this Google Form.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">We manage submissions through Google Forms, linked above.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>The details:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Non-fiction under 4,000 words, fiction under 2,000, and poetry just generally kept to a minimum<\/li>\n<li>Please submit one prose piece\u00a0<strong>or<\/strong>\u00a0two poems.<\/li>\n<li>Turnaround times vary. Expect a response within approximately one month of submissions closing.<\/li>\n<li>Talk Vomit believes wholeheartedly in simultaneous submissions and raises their eyebrows at places that don\u2019t.\u00a0<strong>BUT<\/strong>, if your piece is accepted elsewhere, please email talk@talkvomit.com as soon as you can. If you don\u2019t, it stands to be quite embarrassing for both of us.<\/li>\n<li>Talk 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.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Some stuff we particularly like:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Gothic stories. Not high fantasy stuff, usually, but moody and atmospheric pieces that take a microscope to the underbelly of our communities and relationships<\/li>\n<li>Flash satire<\/li>\n<li>Essays 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)<\/li>\n<li>Cultural criticism, in general<\/li>\n<li>Book reviews, especially those in the 300-600 word range \u2014 unless you\u2019re baking in some first-person narrative and lengthier criticism. If that\u2019s the case, follow our general nonfiction word limit.<\/li>\n<li>Serial stories. Feel free to pitch one at talk@talkvomit.com. Let\u2019s get Dickensian about it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At the end of the day, we\u2019re 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\u2019t have room for. Don\u2019t hesitate to submit to the next round if your piece is not accepted.<\/p>\n<p>If your piece is a thinly-veiled homage to\u00a0<em>Lolita<\/em>, we will delete it without response. Read something else.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Payment:\u00a0<\/strong>We\u2019re 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.
