Submissions
Please Submit your best work to the following link: http://sunsetsandsilencers.submishmash.com/submit
Sunsets and Silencers is open to a wide variety of styles and wants to publish only the most innovative and creative work. We are careful about the work we publish, and we read and consider every submission, carefully. S&S publishes short fiction, flash fiction, creative non-fiction, poetry, essays, paintings, photography, and comic strips as a platform for emerging and established artists to showcase their work. On promising work, we may offer feedback, even if the piece didn't work for us. Please, keep in mind, however, that we do not respond to every piece, mostly because of the volume of submissions received. We want to provide exposure to artists and writers who create out of a restless fever, and who are fearless in their choice to submit. So, send what you have, but pay attention to our mandates below:
- Sunsets and Silencers accepts online submissions only.
- Limit yourself to three pieces per submission, unless you're a poet. For poetry, send up to five poems at a time. Poems should be sent as word documents or a file that is attached as .doc
- Online: 3,000 words max.
- Do not submit previously published work.
- Along with your submission, please send us a short biography: the world wants to know who you are.
- Response time is usually one to three months.
- We claim First Electronic Rights and First North American Rights, meaning Sunsets and Silencers must be the first publication to feature the work online and/or in print.
- Submitting artwork online is a bit of a challenge. For reproduction quality we need scans of 300 dpi or higher but for e-mail opening we need lower resolutions. So when submitting artwork on-line, send low resolution and if we wish to use your work we will arrange to get the higher resolution scans. Usually a JPEG is enough to get you started.
- As of right now we are a non-paying entity. However, we are working to change that!
