Penduline Press

Are you awesome?

Let us know if you have some amazing writing or artwork you would like featured in our magazine! We would love to hear from you.

We are accepting submissions of fiction* (flash fiction, sudden fiction, short stories, and prose poetry) and artwork for Issue 5 through the deadline date of April 15th, 2012.

The issue theme is: OHIO.

By this we mean Ohio-themed stories/prose poems and artwork related to Ohio/Ohioans. We are also interested in the work of Ohio writers and artists who are not currently based in Ohio.

PLEASE NOTE: We are NOT seeking the following: works of nonfiction, creative nonfiction, chapters excerpts from novels, or rhyming poetry. We are seeking works that are intentionally shorter in structure and length; submissions longer than 5000 words will neither be read nor considered.

*By submitting to us, you are acknowledging that your work is purely fiction: any similarity/resemblance of characters or situations in your writing to actual persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental and unintended.

Here are our guidelines so you know what to send.

Writers

You must submit via our electronic submissions manager. Penduline accepts flash fiction, sudden fiction, short stories, and prose poetry. We love shorter work, and ask that longer pieces be below 5000 words. We do not accept previously published work; we accept simultaneous submissions but require that you promptly inform us if your work is accepted elsewhere.

Penduline asks for first serial rights and the right to keep your work in our archives. After publication, all other rights revert back to the author. Authors should, in any future reprints, mention that their work first saw publication in Penduline.

Artists

Penduline generally prefers art that is abstract, whether in themes or methods; we have a penchant for the asymmetrical and the bold, regardless of medium.

We prefer your images sent to us as .jpeg files, since .pdf files are harder to upload.
