About

Backwards Trajectory is a curiosity shop, brimming with baubles, tchotchkes, and doohickeys full of delight and wonder. We are the desk drawer you forgot about. Backwards Trajectory is a way of living, a re-examination of the present by looking at the past. Backwards Trajectory is aware that time is only a construct. Our motto, Never Move On, is a challenge, is a joke. In order to move on, we must first render fully, where we came from. Backwards Trajectory is a living document. Backwards Trajectory is an online community art space. Backwards Trajectory is onging as are we all.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
