We publish our fiction at The Front View , where we showcase the weird, unusual, thought provoking and occasionally bizarre. We classify ourselves as "Bohemian Eclectic" -- yes, we coined the term. Our stories will make you wonder, laugh, cry and generally FEEL something. We expect to elicit a valid emotional response from our readers.
Submissions:
We ONLY accept original written work, except by specific invitation. Please check out a copy of the magazine before you submit to get an idea of the type of work we publish. ( See side bar )
A note about "previously published": Print publication is obvious. Online publication includes your personal website or blog, or anyone else's website or blog, whether or not it represents itself as a publication. In other words, if it can be found with a search engine, it's published. Workshops and similar forums are, of course, exempt -- we use them and love them, too.
We DO NOT accept simultaneous submissions. If you send us something, please don't pull it from our files because someone else is publishing it. On the rare occassion that you are asked for a piece that you have sent to us because you shared it with your Uncle Larry and he's just super good friends with some publishing giant, we will be happy for you and congratulate you. However, if you randomly start pulling your stuff, we'll grumble a whole lot and probably say mean things about you behind your back. (Not you, Norm, you're special. We mean from this date forward.) We know several of you don't like the whole "NO simultaneous sub" thing -- go make your own zine and then we'll talk. On the other hand, if you want to send us some money, we'll take your words and you can pull them all you want.
If you're not sure what this means, write us and ask.
We DO accept attachments.
Submissions in the body of the email are also welcome, especially for short works. If you send attachments, please use a format that can be read by MS Word.
Mac users: save your work in rich-text format and be sure the filename includes the .rtf extension, for us poor misguided PC users.
