From now until July 22, our guest fiction editor Kenny Mooney and Editor in Chief Nicolette Wong will be reading for a flash fiction/prose special (August 20). All fiction/prose submissions will be considered for both the regular line-up and the special issue.
All other submissions remain open. We look forward to reading your work.
***If your work has been featured in A-Minor, please wait at least FIVE MONTHS before submitting again.
***If your work is declined, please wait at least ONE MONTH before submitting again.
Fiction/Prose: One to three pieces. 100 to 500 words. Anything from hard-edged realism to dark lyricism and surrealist dreamscapes. Experimental and genre-blurring works are sought.
Poetry: Three to five poems. Free verse, prose poetry and hybrid form welcome. Tastes lean toward the lyrical, eccentric, ambivalent and wildly imaginative.
Mixed genres: Two to four prose pieces and poems that revolve around the same theme or imagery.
Art/Text: One to three prose pieces or poems, based on or paired with artwork by the writer or a visual artist.
Artwork: Two to five pieces of visual poetry, asemic writing or other post-literate variety. Abstract art may also be considered. Preferences will be given to images that work as a series. Collaborations are welcome.
Prose and poetry must be entirely unpublished. Artwork may be previously posted on the artist’s web site or blog. Editor may solicit reprints of artworks.
Simultaneous submissions are accepted. Include a 50-word, third person author/artist bio.
Art/Text and Artwork submissions should be sent directly to aminormagazine@gmail.com

Not so tech savvy. Have been trying to send a private message. Can you email me?

Your guidelines say “Please submit to one category at a time, and put ALL stories or poems in ONE file.” Does that mean one category per submission period or simply one email per category?
Hi Deborah – it means submitters should wait for a response before sending something else (to the same or another category).
Thanks Nicolette! That clarifies nicely.
