For all of the aspiring writers and authors out there, a new market! (Well, an old market that went away for a while and, due to a kickstarter, is now up and running again. I donated to the kickstarter.)

Flytrap will be opening to fiction submissions starting next Tuesday, September 4th! Below are the guidelines. Go forth, submit, and conquer!

Flytrap, the little zine with teeth, will open to submissions for issue #11 on September 3, 2013

Fiction: I will consider work up to 5,000 words (query for longer, but don't let it hurt your feelings if I say no). Any form, any style, any genre welcome; cross-genre and experimental work especially appreciated. I consider vignettes, fantasias, and hallucinagenia in addition to more traditional narrative approaches. Surprise me, or delight me, or both. I like stories with sex and feminism and apocalypses and snarky humor in them, but don't let that limit you. Straightforward porn and conventional horror are unlikely to find a home here, but otherwise, I'm happy to consider pretty much anything. Send stories to Heather Shaw at TropismPress@gmail.com. Send in the body of an e-mail, or as Word or RTF attachments.

Non-Fiction: Due to enthusiastic pre-soliciting, we are full on non-fiction for this issue.

Poetry: We are not open to poetry submissions for issue #11. We're having a featured poet instead. But you might be able to slip a prose poem past the fiction editor. Multiple submissions are okay, within reason (that is, sending two pieces won't annoy us too much, but sending three probably will).

No simultaneous submissions (but we'll try to answer every submission by mid-November, so it shouldn't cramp your submitting style too much).

Deadline: We open September 4, 2013, and close October 31, 2013. Payment: $0.05/ word for fiction, and a copy of the digital issue on publication.

Thanks for the heads-up. I've posted a link to this site on a writers' forum.

This looks interesting. Is there a submission guidelines page to link to, or is this it?

Right now, I'm not seeing any submission guidelines page to link to, but I assume that once September 3rd hits, they'll have something more formal up somewhere. I'll try to post that once I know what the link is.

Are multiple submissions allowed?

I would assume that multiple submissions are allowed, since it doesn't say otherwise.

Hello, everyone. Has anyone received a reply yet? Just curious (and anxious!) :)

I did get an update from the kickstarter saying that they were reading through the stories now, so I know there's been some progress.
