General Submissions for the 2012 edition of Words & Images are now CLOSED.
2012 Guidelines:
Words and Images is accepting submissions for the 2012 issue as of August 1st. We are pretty eclectic (erratic?) in our tastes, and will therefore consider most anything. Genre fiction, experimental work, poetry, prose poetry, flash fiction, essays: whatever you have that you’d like to throw our way, just so long as it’s unpublished. We are also looking for two dimensional representation of all forms of visual art.
Mostly we’re interested in pieces that push the boundaries of convention and form, without: a) becoming incoherent; b) becoming lifeless, hollow, empty; c) sacrificing emotion for effect. We’re looking for popular experimentation.
