Pure Slush has planned a 7-volume series around the 7 deadly sins, to celebrate 7 years of publishing. (We celebrated our 7th anniversary in December 2017.)
Submissions for Gluttony Vol. 2 have opened!
The theme for the volume is gluttony.
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- original, so previously unpublished online or in print (so that includes authors’ websites and blogs);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 ‘gluttony’. This can be as simple as including the word ‘gluttony’, or making it a major theme or subject. As always, we are flexible with how writers interpret this theme. BUT ‘gluttony’ 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 Gluttony / Title / Word Length in Submission Title by clicking here.
Submissions close 30th April 2018.
