Fiction: One to three prose pieces. 100 to 500 words. Anything from hard-edged realism to dark lyricism and surrealist dreamscapes. Experimental and genre-blurring works (e.g. prosetry) 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. A-Minor will publish all or none of the pieces.
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Prose and poetry must be entirely unpublished.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
