Guidelines
SUBMIT work, that both you and we would be proud to publish, by way of our submission manager. And if you have the time, please consider reporting your submission at Duotrope.
WORDS, they're what makes a journal work. We are looking for quality works of fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction and essay that examine, poke, prod and otherwise deal with sport. That said, our thematic niche can mean different things to different people, and we'd enjoy seeing your unique take on the topic.
PICTURES, the second best thing to a word, despite that whole "picture worth a 1,000 words" thing. We are currently looking for digital artwork for our front cover, insets and possibly to feature. Photos, paintings, mixed media are all excellent and will be considered.
AESTHETICS wise, we'd encourage you to read a past issue or check out the wonderful work (in similarly themed issues) at Hobart and The Southern Review or any of the journals on our FRIENDS (basically, we like good writing). For even more details, visit our ABOUT page.
DEADLINES are neither here nor there.
PUBLICATION is twice a year or thereabouts (Spring/Summer, Autumn/Winter) for the bi-annual magazine and weekly for web-only contributions.
THE GIST is that we welcome submissions from writers (and artists) of all ilks: published, unpublished, emerging and hermits.
FYI, Stymie offers AD SPACE in each issue to literary journals, independent presses and the like as well as on our website (on weekly and monthly schedules). For details check out our AD SPACE page.
