Call for Fiction Submissions: A Strange Object

A STRANGE OBJECT, a brand-new indie press based in Austin, is currently seeking short stories and novel excerpts for publication in its online magazine, COVERED WITH FUR.

COVERED WITH FUR publishes original fiction, accompanied by artifacts of the creative process, in a regular series called "Material Fiction." Dedicated to publishing fiction and the story of its creation, "Material Fiction" is a space to explore writing as process and publishing as material practice.

- We love: stories that take risks and take us places; writing that moves us and language that rattles us; fiction that is big-hearted and wild, elegant and innovative.

- We seek: writers who are eager to collaborate with us to tell the story of their creative process. This means being willing to share with us--and with readers--artifacts of your writing process. Such artifacts might include: drafts, outlines, or notes; written commentary on the piece’s evolution; visual or textual evidence of “aha!” moments; inspirational objects, quotes, images, et cetera.

- We believe: writing is hard work, y’all. We pay authors $250 per accepted story or excerpt.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

- Submissions are open from August 1 to August 31, 2013. 
- Submissions must be under 5,000 words. Short stories and stand-alone novel excerpts are both welcome. 
- Submissions must be fiction.
- Work must be previously unpublished. We consider work that has appeared online in any form (including on personal blogs and the like) to be published.
- Simultaneous submissions are accepted.
- Please submit via our submission manager. Electronic submissions only.
