The Gorko Gazette

About

12 members set this magazine as a Favorite.

The Gorko Gazette publishes fake news headlines, one-panel cartoons, fake movie reviews, poetry, and other things. Submission info below. Some have said that The Gorko is a puzzling site, combining absurdist humor, non-fan fiction, and serious poetry. We can’t argue, we like all of those things.

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.
