SUBMIT work, that both you and we would be proud to publish, as a .rtf to submissions, queries, etc. 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. If you have a piece of art that you think might fit, please email submissions, queries, etc. with examples of your work as .jpegs or a link to an online portfolio.
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 under the FRIENDS tab (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).
THE GIST is that we welcome submissions from writers (and artists) of all ilks: published, unpublished, emerging and hermits.
FYI, Stymie offers FREE AD SPACE in each issue (beginning in 2010) to literary journals, independent presses and the like on a first come, first served basis. For details, schematics and all that fun stuff, check out our AD SPACE page.
