Call for Submissions: Main Squeeze Literary Magazine

Main Squeeze Magazine is currently ACCEPTING SUBMISSIONS.

We only accept unpublished work. Concurrent submissions are fine. If your work is accepted elsewhere, we ask that you inform us immediately to withdraw your piece(s).

Your submission email should include a list of the pieces you are submitting and a brief third-person bio. Indicate your submission genre in the subject line, i.e. FICTION SUBMISSION or POETRY SUBMISSION, etc. Please attach all submissions to your email. Each attachment containing your work should be titled genre_title.

ALL SUBMISSIONS ARE DUE FEBRUARY 17

By submitting your work you give consent for Main Squeeze Magazine to publish it upon acceptance.
What are we yearning for?

We want prose with steel-toed boots and grandma candies in its pocket. Poetry that molds soft bellies into something with feet for brain walking. Nonfiction with a shovel in its car for ease of burying the body. Just make it brutal and beautiful. Human Condition, yes. Sacrificing everything at the altar of intensity, yes. Freakifying of work, yes. No ghosts. No fantasy that the only thing interesting is fantasy. Defamiliarizing the familiar, yes. No sky poems (unless it works). No breakups. No dead dogs. Relentless attempts at taking off readers’ heads, yes. Now until Feb. 17.
