Pure Slush is working through a 7-volume series around the 7 deadly sins, to celebrate 7 years of publishing. (We celebrated our 7th anniversary in December 2017.)
Lust Vol. 1, Gluttony Vol. 2, Greed Vol. 3 and Sloth Vol. 4 have all been published and submissions for Wrath Vol. 5 have closed … which means …
submissions for Envy Vol. 6 are open!
The theme for the volume is envy.
Your submission must be:
- original, so previously unpublished online or in print (so that includes authors’ websites and blogs);
- 1000 maximum word limit for each submission: fiction and non-fiction, stories, essays and poetry;
- 100 word minimum for stories and essays; 50 word minimum for poetry;
- must somehow incorporate ‘envy’. This can be as simple as including the word ‘envy’, or making it a major theme or subject. As always, we are flexible with how writers interpret this theme. BUT ‘envy’ must be included somehow.
If you wish to be involved or have questions, email edpureslush@live.com.au.
Please submit your stories, poems, essays, etc with Envy / Title / Word Length in Submission Title by clicking here.
Submissions close 31st January 2019.

More info about 7 Deadly Sins
Have the 7 deadly sins been done before? Well, probably, yes …
But there will be a unique spin (as it’s Pure Slush, after all), the structure will be interesting, and as always, it will be fun …
Perhaps you would like to be involved …
The parameters are:
- 7 volumes, one volume each focusing on the 7 deadly sins: lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, pride, to be called Lust Vol. 1, Gluttony Vol. 2, Greed Vol. 3, Sloth Vol. 4, Wrath Vol. 5, Envy Vol. 6 and Pride Vol. 7.
- 1000 maximum word limit for each submission: fiction and non-fiction, stories, essays and poetry;
- 100 word minimum for stories and essays; 50 word minimum for poetry;
- you can submit to 1 or 7 or 3 or 5 or 6 or 2 or 4 volumes … it’s your choice
- you can carry characters and plots across all the submissions or they can be stand alone or they can be a mix
- there will be more submission calls throughout 2018 and into 2019, one at a time, until all 7 volumes are published.
If you have any questions, please email edpureslush@live.com.au.
