Needs: cutting edge, erotica, hardboiled,
horror, literary, noir, psychological/horror. No fanfiction, romance, or swords
& sorcery. Absolutely nothing glorifying Satanism! Nothing so sick or perverted that even I can’t read it. Nothing racist or bigoted, or anti-religion. Nothing either right-wing Conservative or so politically correct the ACLU would love
it. There’s a happy medium somewhere: Write straight from the heart; call
it like you see it, but show some control.
Length: No more than 3,500 words. Anything longer, please query first. Flash fiction (under 500 words) is cool. Fiction: one story at a time and no simultaneous submissions, please. Poetry: up to three poems. Again, no simultaneous submissions, please.
Artwork: up to three pieces.
How to contact: Electronic submissions only. Send fiction and poetry as email attachments in MS Word or something
compatible to crosmus@earthlink.net, with “Submission” as subject. Please do not paste your work into the body of an email and expect me to reformat the thing. Send artwork
as a file attachment to the same address. In any case, a brief cover letter would be nice.
Include a short bio and past publications (if any) and make sure your name, address,
& email address is on the first page of the manuscript. Also make sure you insert numbers on every page.
Payment: The thrill of having your story/poem/artwork
seen by so many! The joy of seeing your name in print! I could go on, and on.
But sorry, no bucks, and since we’re not a print mag, no copies, either!
