Submissions for our next anthology are now open!
PLEASE NOTE WE ARE NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING FULL-LENGTH MANUSCRIPTS.
great weather for MEDIA seeks poetry, flash fiction, short stories, dramatic monologues, and creative nonfiction for our annual print anthology.
Our focus is on the fearless, the unpredictable, and experimental but we do not have a set theme for our anthologies.
**We highly recommend reading one of our stunning previous collections to see the type of work we love. Let us know in your cover letter how you found us, and any feedback on what we have done so far. We are based in New York City and welcome submissions from national and international writers. For submission tips, check out our interviews on Duotrope and The Nervous Breakdown
We are thrilled to announce our 2016 guest prose editor is Thaddeus Rutkowski. Read our interview with Thaddeus here.
We accept work through Submittable only.
Work sent via email or snail-mail will not be read. You may set up a Submittable account for free and we do not charge a reading fee. Your account will be created during the first step of the submission process.
Finally, please read the guidelines! We do tweak them each reading period in order to improve our submission and selection process.
Any questions? Please contact us.
