Emily Costa, cnfsubs.ft@gmail.com
Looking for creative non-fiction/autobiographical writing/maybe even autofiction (???) between 1500-2500 words. Make me feel something. Give me details. Your job, regional sandwiches, strange hobbies, shame, your hometown, toys, abandoned spaces, close encounters. I wanna learn, so tell me.
Fiction
Alan ten-Hoeve, atwsubs.ft@gmail.com
Farewell Transmission welcomes fiction submissions under 3000 words. Please take a look at our archive for a sense of what we publish. We are interested in work that has a beating heart.
Poetry
Brandi Spering, poetry.ft@gmail.com
There aren’t any limits to what can be considered poetry. It doesn’t have to look or sound like anything traditional— it might even be something you can’t condition into a specific category.
We’re flexible on length, but generally, please keep your submission to 1-3 pages. You can submit multiple poems within those three pages but we are looking for singular works, not collections. (It can be an excerpt but should be able to stand on its own.)
