Visual arts, flash fiction, poetry. There is no shortage of really nice art and literature out there. We do not want “nice.” We want to feel a physical reaction to your work. Nausea. Embarassment. Arousal. Something. Poets: 2-5 poems Visual Artists: We will no longer be accepting unsolicited submissions for visual art. Fiction: 1-2 short short stories. 100-500 words, no more, no less please. Bio: Introduce yourself a bit as a writer/artist and as a person. The inclusion of publication credits is acceptable but by no means necessary. Guidelines: If you do not follow these guidelines, we might not even get your submission as it will be read as spam.
By submitting, you agree that you are at least 18 years of age. You also agree that the work is your original creation and does not infringe on any copyrights or copyright laws. If your work has been previously published, please indicate where and when your poem has appeared. Only submit work if you retain the copyright. We are asking for non-exclusive rights during the three to four months in which your work will appear and the right to archive the issues containing your work for as long as the website exists. You also grant the right to publish your work in any print anthology published by Mannequin Envy. If your work is published elsewhere after being published in Mannequin Envy, we would appreciate the courtesy of a mention. Payment: We are unable to pay contributors at this time, but if you are ever in the Austin area, Jennifer will be glad to buy you a drink. Thank you for sending submissions to our fearless volunteer editors: For email addresses, please replace (at) with @, replace (dot) with .
What next? No more crazy email forcing you to prove you are human. We will not be reading 1 month before and 1 month after a new issue is published. We will eventually read all submissions sent. If you have not heard from us please write. Strange things happen to good people and their submissions that are beyond our control…. or maybe within our control, but not outside the overwhelming power of entropy. Just write and ask and we will let you know. It is a great idea to check out the current issue and back issues to get a feel for what we like. Best of luck, and thanks for considering Mannequin Envy! |
