Genre: Fantasy/Steampunk/Adventure/anything whimsical
I do NOT accept any horror stories--gothic or supernatural. No "dark" pieces of writing or poems, or artwork.
Throw me your knots, tangled webs of ideas and stories. Give me your intricate descriptions and woven lines--clocks and gears, intrigue and complications. I'm especially looking for steampunk.
Prose: I want descriptions--purple prose, to put it clearly. I want words to flow around and just jump off the page because they're so strong. I want the descriptions to take up the story.
Poetry: I do not want modern or sappy romance. Anything that fits with the current theme. I don't mind blank verse.
Short Stories: I don't want stories too much over 1,500 words. They need to be clear-cut, with descriptive writing with an original feel to it. If you think that it doesn't quite fit in, but you think I would still like it, go on and send it. There is no need to query about submissions. No explicit material.
Reviews: I want reviews regarding books with a fantasy/steampunk/adventure genre or along those lines--a book you are reading right now, one that is sitting on your bookshelf, or a new book that just came out! The review can include anything, but I would prefer it to stay under 1,000 words.
All rights regarding writing and artwork remain with the author, and you can remove your work at any time--although I do ask that you allow me to put it under the "Archives".
Please send all writing submissions to oldschoolink95(at)gmail(dot)com. I will try to respond within seven days. Under the subject line, put "Submission: Your Story Title". Please include a brief introduction of yourself. Attach your work in a Word file.
If a week has passed, and I still have not responded, send a query letter with "Query: Your Story Title/Artwork" in the subject line.
Sincerely,
Jackie Falcon
Editor of There and Back Again
Artwork: I will consider anything. Watercolors and paintings are fine. The drawing can be of anything: a traveler, an old inn, a crazy scientist bent over an old steampunk machine, a portrait of a character from a fantasy series--all as long as it fits the theme.
Send artwork submissions to skyeoctober(at)gmail(dot)com. Please include a brief introduction of yourself. Attach artwork in a file. In the subject put "Submission: Artwork". I will try to respond within seven days. If I don't, feel free to send a query email about your drawing.
Sincerely,
October Skye
Illustrator
List for upcoming themes:
Tangled: intrigue, complications--clockwork, gears--especially looking for Steampunk on this one.
Fairytales: fairies, old tales, myths, yarns of times gone by.
