| GUIDELINES FOR WEB SUBMISSIONS |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
DEAR WRITERS AND ARTISTS: Due to excessive use of Allegra-D we are sometimes slow or remiss to acknowledge receipt of your emails, however, we will eventually respond. Please be patient with us. Our brains are small so please read below and take these and any other common sense precautions to make this as easy as possible for us. This will help make the response time far faster. Note that if you do not have the presence of mind and time to read this page, it is unlikely we will accept your work. SUBMISSIONS Must be sent to us via e-mail, according to the guidelines below. The magazine is primarily a fiction and poetry journal, with some interviews. We do occasionally accept music, artwork, and photography. E-MAIL ADDRESSES All submissions should be sent to editor@litchaos.com. LENGTH Submissions can technically be of any length, but consider how fast you’re scrolling right now to gauge the attention span of the average reader. For music and art see below. COVER LETTERS Are unnecessary, but not forbidden by any means. STYLE Should be experimental. Think Italo Calvino, Julio Cortazar, or Michael Ondaatje for a loose guide. Don't think romance, horror, or sci-fi. PLEASE PASTE The entire document into the e-mail message and send us each piece as a Word attachment exactly how you would like it to appear in print if accepted. Don't use smart quotes or any other little tech things that are a formatting nightmare when uploaded. YOUR NAME Should be on your submission. (Please inform us of pseudonyms) YOUR SUBJECT LINE Should say the category and the title of the piece with the word "submission". So if you are sending a poem called "The Wickedest” it should look like this:
Are welcomed as long as they are to the point. SUMMARIES Should be one sentence only. PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED WORK Cannot be considered. PAYMENT There will likely be none. If there is any, it will be in abstract quantities such as self-fulfillment and pride. RESPONSE TIME Is somewhere between a quark and a light-year. Please be patient. MUSIC OR ARTWORK Should be sent the same as fiction or poetry. Include jpegs (2-3 files), mp3 (1 file), or photos (2-3 files) directly in the body of your email with the category in the subject line. We accept comics, paintings, sketches, and more. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS Should be directed to editor@litchaos.com |
