Plastic bags in the wind. Re-useable. No palm. It’s all ecological and sustainable and something-free. The vocabulary is new. It found a new niche. This is your platform for it. W E . A R E .

We want words that address the most pressing issues facing humans and planet earth and aliens and zombies. Words on climate change. Darkness and humor. Emotion but no mush. Sincerity. Words that address the pain of being human or alien or tree. The conflicts. The hypocrisy. The fundamentally flawed and imperfect. How to balance all of this Relativity? A thankless task? An impossible notion? Pure fancy and invention on the count of literary possibility?

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.
