In order to contribute, you must be a female writer who lives or has lived in San Francisco. If you want to know what you're getting yourself into, come to our reading at the Hemlock Tavern on September 13th! Details are on our website. The submission guidelines below can also be found at http:// defenestrationlit.org/Submissions.html Defenestration Journal Submission Guidelines WE PUBLISH Prose, short fiction, and poetry from female writers who live or have lived in San Francisco, California. Our contributors for Volume One included a performance artist, an attorney, a waitress, and several journalists. We are dedicated to publishing a wide variety of writers, whether you have never been published before or are an established author. HOW TO SUBMIT Email submissions only, please. Email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] as Word or Open Office documents with a .doc extension. DEADLINE The deadline for submissions is November 15, 2006. YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION Should be on your submission as well as in your email. Please include your name, mailing address, daytime phone number, and email address in your document. LENGTH Is up to you; however, we like to keep our short stories short and do not publish novels. COVER LETTER Cover letters are not necessary, although we certainly won't be angry if you include one. AUTHOR BIOS Please include a brief biography with your submission. PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED WORK Cannot be published in Defenestration. PAYMENT Defenestration's current budget only covers printing costs. However, we would LOVE to be able to pay our writers (and ourselves) and are patiently searching for funding that would allow us to do so. RESPONSE TIME After the 11/15/06 deadline, our staff will be reading submissions for several months. We will complete our selection process and respond to all writers in early 2007. READING DEFENESTRATION FIRST Is a good idea. Copies are available at City Lights Books, the San Francisco Beat Museum and Defenestration reading events, or can be obtained by emailing [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----/ Contact Info /---------------------------------------------------- Micah Pilkington [EMAIL PROTECTED] defenestrationlit.org ----/ The Tentacle List Admin /----------------------------------------- The Tentacle List, a tentacle of Laughing Squid http://laughingsquid.com/tentacle/ subscribe, unsubscribe, change your email address or change your subscription options: http://lists.laughingsquid.org/mailman/listinfo/tentaclelist/ Frequently Asked Questions & Submission Guidlines The Tentacle List FAQ: http://laughingsquid.com/tentacle/faq.html Online list archives (you need to be subscribed to access): http://lists.laughingsquid.org/mailman/private/tentaclelist/ ----/ Laughing Squid /-------------------------------------------------- Laughing Squid http://laughingsquid.com art, culture and technology from San Francisco and beyond Laughing Squid Web Hosting http://laughingsquid.net friendly, dependable and secure web hosting services for artists, individuals, bloggers, non-profits and small organizations The Squid List is licensed under a Creative Commons License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/
