submit...

Due to the frequent changes made to our submission guidelines, we ask that you check our blog prior to sending in your manuscript.

Our publications include:

 

PicFic

Fiction for today's mobile electronics.

 

PicFic is an experimental journal that boils the essence of short stories down so that they can fit in a mobile phone text message. Even though the official definition of Twitter-fiction is a complete story told in 140 characters or less, we are interested in pushing the boundary a bit. We will accept a series of stories that tells one large story (much like TV episodes), as long as each unit is a complete story within itself.

 

unFold

Poetry for today's mobile electronics.

 

unFold, the successor to Form. Reborn on Folded Word, is a PG-rated experimental poetry journal that seeks inspired 140 character (including spaces) Tweets, suitable for mobile poem text messages. unFold seeks to develop Form140, and invites those submitting to improvise solutions to Twitter's inhospitability to traditional line breaks, as described at Form21. Ultimately, we want digestible poems written in present tense that mobile phone users will enjoy to the point of forwarding.
