Call for Submissions: Farewell Transmission

 

ISSUE 6 SUBMISSIONS OPEN 3/1 THROUGH 4/1

For each issue, we typically have 6 spots in both fiction and poetry, and maybe 4 cnf. We’re down for anything, but it’s been a long winter so help us emerge. Let’s crawl out of the cold together. If you have some art, a review, hybrid, interview, anything that doesn’t fit the genres: send it to Rob.

We expect to publish first week of May.

Often there are a few pieces we don’t have room for, but can’t deny, so we offer a spot in across the wire. Please don’t expect a reply until a few weeks after the window is closed.

General Guidelines

Make yourself familiar with our work before submitting please. Yeah, we’re named after the song, but there’s more to it.
We welcome simultaneous submissions but ask that you let us know if the piece is accepted elsewhere. No previously published submissions, please.

Please do not submit PDFs; we only accept Doc or Docx files.

For images, please submit a .png or .jpg.

Creative Non-Fiction
Emily Costa:

cnfsubs.ft@gmail.com

Looking for creative non-fiction/autobiographical writing/maybe even autofiction (???) between 1500-2500 words. Make me feel something. Give me details. Your job, regional sandwiches, strange hobbies, shame, your hometown, toys, abandoned spaces, close encounters. I wanna learn, so tell me.

Fiction
Alan ten-Hoeve:

atwsubs.ft@gmail.com

Farewell Transmission welcomes fiction submissions under 3000 words. Please take a look at our archive for a sense of what we publish. We are interested in work that has a beating heart.

Poetry
Brandi Spering:

poetry.ft@gmail.com

There aren’t any limits to what can be considered poetry. It doesn’t have to look or sound like anything traditional— it might even be something you can’t condition into a specific category.

We’re flexible on length, but generally, please keep your submission to 1-3 pages. You can submit multiple poems within those three pages but we are looking for singular works, not collections. (It can be an excerpt but should be able to stand on its own.)
