Submissions

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

The deadline for Full of Crow’s October Fiction issue is September 21st.

*Fiction Submissions: Please send short stories or flash fiction, no more than 2500 words and no less than 250. We will not accept chapters from a novel, novels, novellas, or lengthy memoirs. Please paste the text into the email or attach your submission as a Word doc. file. Please identify it as a Full Of Crow Fiction submission in your email.

All of the sections at Full Of Crow have their own autonomous editors who formulate their own submission guidelines. Response times vary, as do editorial styles. In general, we will not “workshop” your submitted work. Please send work that you consider to be complete.

Full Of Crow Fiction, as of July 2010, will be edited by Paul Corman-Roberts.

*We are listed at Duotrope. Please advise them of your responses if you are a member.

Our Page at Duotrope can be viewed here.

*If you have any questions, please use the information on the contacts page, or feel free to direct general correspondence to:

editors@fullofcrow.com

*Electronic submissions preferred. If certain accommodations are needed, please get in touch with us.

*Submissions should include “Submission/Fiction” or something similar to identify it as a submission and WHAT YOU ARE SUBMITTING TO! (microw, fiction, etc.) Artwork and photography can be included but they will be posted as black and white images, and might be resized. (Exception: Arterialize)

*Simultaneous/previously published submissions discouraged. If you have questions/concerns, please feel free to contact us.

*We are looking for your original work. Work that has been part of a workshop forum is acceptable, but please do not send us work that has been all over the internet. We are not trying to judge this or the desire to gain exposure, but we respectfully ask that you consider linking to the publications that publish your work to support independent presses and zines that provide space for your creative work. For example, why not post a link on myspace or facebook, instead of a copy of the work? (What have they done for you lately? Made money from your visits in advertisements?) Most of our sections have easy tools in the content to make it even easier to share links across your social networks and bookmark sites.

*Authors/Artists retain all rights to work. We will post the work and maintain it in our archives for at least the month’s duration, but we do not seek to control or limit the use of work that belongs to you “indefinitely”. We reserve the right to remove work once it is published elsewhere and has found a “new home”. We hope that work appearing here will be noted as such, and we welcome links to our pages. We will try to maintain content in our archives for at least the year- in case you link. Again, contact us with concerns.

These guidelines pertain to Full of Crow Online. Other projects and publication formats will include their own submission and content information.

Fiction writers might also be interested in MiCrow, Fashion For Collapse, Blink-Ink, Corporeal Flux, or the fiction groups at The Sphere Network.
