BARE FICTION MAGAZINE: GENERAL THEATRE SUBMISSIONS
We feel that playwrights get a raw deal in literary magazines and we're here to change that once and for all. We want our readers to discover genre-defying boldness from exciting writers in poetry, fiction and plays, literary review, interviews and commentary. To that end, we need prose, poetry and play texts that instantly grab the readers’ minds and take them on extraordinary literary journeys. If your work is competently written but doesn’t have the kind of depth that makes the readers work just that little bit harder, then it’s probably not for us. We want you to make peoples eyes open wider and their minds race with excitement as they feast on your words.
- Deadline: July 10, 2016
- Application Fee: Free
- Eligibility: Submit 3-5 poems, or a 10 minute play. Fiction submissions are not currently open while I read through the backlog.
