Tags that remind me that we are also open for Long Fiction queries (It's just a different submissions process)

If you've written the next House of Leaves (please please please) send us an email to archiveoftheodd@gmail.com.

Please send a query letter with the title and length of your piece, as well as a synopsis. For works under 50,000 words, send a .doc, .docx, or .rtf file with the work in its entirety (name removed to remain sight unseen).

For pieces whose formatting is required to understand the story, or with extensive artwork, .pdf is also acceptable.

We will respond with an estimated reply date, which will vary depending on our current workload, but will never be longer than 6 months. Generally, if you submit during our short fiction open period, we will start reading after our story selection for the zine, which occurs approximately a month after closing date. After that, please give us at least another month to respond (two months after closing date total). Expected wait for submissions between open periods varies depending our current workload, but is generally shorter.

Heads up, we've got another submissions period coming your way!
