\n

We seek original submissions in multiple genres for the “Faux” issue. Do know that themes are not to be taken literally. We encourage submitters to simply have fun with the theme, or ignore it entirely.<\/p>\n

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES – PLEASE READ THOROUGHLY:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Writers:<\/strong>\u00a0Writing submissions should be works of poetry and short prose no longer than 1500 words in length,
\n8000 words for short fiction and essays, 1200 words for flash and microfiction.<\/p>\n

Please only send CLEAN COPY.\u00a0We do not edit copy.<\/em>
\nIf a work is accepted for publication, it appears letter-for-letter as submitted.
\nSubmissions with obvious typographic errors will be rejected.
\nWe reserve the right to format copy to our layout standards.<\/strong>
\nPlease also note that due to tight deadline and printing timelines,
\nrevisions likely will not be even possible after a work is accepted.
\nTherefore, please only submit works you’re fully confident in having published.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

All writing should be sent as an editable document,\u00a0 ideally Microsoft Word Format (.doc or .docx,) or RTF.
\nBe aware that any formatting you use in your document will be changed to fit our layout specifications.
\nDon’t get fancy unless you have something that is required for the piece (such as special formatting for a poem.)
\nWe STRONGLY encourage very general formatting for most written work.
\nYour font\u00a0will<\/strong>\u00a0be changed, we don’t use indents for paragraph breaks, and we will re-format as needed.
\nPlease keep the formatting simple.
\nSee below, as well.<\/p>\n

Embedded images in a text document might lead to rejection, due to difficulty in layout.
\nIf you feel you must have embedded images, please email us before submitting.<\/strong><\/p>\n

IMPORTANT: PDF is NOT an acceptable file format,\u00a0<\/strong>except for the rare case of a work depending strictly on physical formatting and font(s).
\nPlease email us FIRST if you want to submit a PDF for a text piece.<\/strong>
\n(WHEN IN DOUBT, DON’T SEND PDF UNLESS YOU’RE ABSOLUTELY SURE THE TEXT MUST BE IN A STRICT FORMAT.
\nThis basically means, if you’re using unusual fonts and\/or formatting that is absolutely critical to the piece.)<\/p>\n

SO:
\nDISCLAIMER: We shall still reserve the right to reformat PDF submissions to fit our layout standards.
\nSubmitting as PDF is not an assurance that we will print the item as it looks in the PDF. Additionally, if we are forced to re-format from a PDF we will not be responsible for errors in the format conversion.<\/strong>
\nIf you have questions about this policy regarding your work, please contact us via email before submitting.<\/p>\n

Must include a\u00a0third-person<\/em> bio, 100 words maximum. <\/strong>Pronoun preferences are encouraged!<\/em><\/p>\n

No<\/strong>\u00a0submitting written work via email or a file transfer service unless requested. Please use Duosumo.<\/p>\n

Due to time constraints, physical submissions via regular mail will NOT be considered for inclusion.<\/p>\n

Simultaneous submissions are accepted<\/strong>\u00a0as long as the submitter notifies us IMMEDIATELY\u00a0 upon their work being accepted elsewhere. The best way to notify us of a piece accepted elsewhere when submitting\u00a0 through Duosuma is to\u00a0immeditely withdraw the piece<\/strong>. There is no assurance we will know it is withdrawn unless
\nyou withdraw it directly through Duosuma. Email is inadaquate for withdrawls for Duosuma submissions.
\nIf we accept a submission, it\u00a0will<\/strong>\u00a0be printed. Our timeline is so tight that there is no other option.<\/p>\n

Please note: you are free to withdraw a piece for\u00a0any<\/strong>\u00a0reason via Duosuma\u00a0\u00a0unless we have accepted it for publication<\/strong>. We don’t “hold work hostage”.<\/em><\/p>\n

Also note: due to the frequently large volume of submissions and our limited publication space, sometimes we may not get to accepting or rejecting a submission during the submission cycle in which it was presented.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Number of Pieces: Up to 5 pieces per submission.
\nSingle File: Not required; may include a separate file\/link for each piece.<\/div>\n
