SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

2011-05-29T21:18:00.000-07:00

Pulp Modern is a fiction journal that publishes exciting, genre fiction. Those genres include crime, mystery, horror, science fiction, fantasy and westerns. Pulp Modern would like to see more submissions that mix genre with modern and postmodern elements. Think Junot Diaz meets Jim Thompson (an outstanding example from issue one would be Copper Smith's story "Feel Good Hit of the Summer"). Stories should be between 2000 and 5000 words. Longer stories may be considered for serialization.

Pulp Modern believes writers and artists should receive compensation for their work. Pulp Modern also lives in the real world. Pulp Modern is published on demand. What this allows is for the editor to split any and all (read: gross) profits equally among all writers and artists involved. Deal memos will be drawn up for each contributing writer or artist that will detail how this process works. Someday, maybe, the editor will be able to sell advertising space, in which case the terms of payment will change.

Pulp Modern claims the following publication rights: First English-language Rights, Exclusive Rights, English-language Periodical Rights, World Periodical Rights, Web/Internet Rights, and Electronic Distribution Rights. Per the deal memo signed with each writer and artist, all rights will revert back to the writer twelve-months after initial publication. Should Pulp Modern choose to create an anthology of previously published work, new rights will be negotiated.

Pulp Modern will look at simultaneous submissions, so long as the editor is informed the moment a story is accepted elsewhere.

Pulp Modern will NO LONGER publish reprints unless they are requested by the editor.

Pulp Modern will not accept poetry at this time.

To submit stories:

Send your story in standard manuscript format as an attached document (.doc or .rtf) to

pulpmodern@yahoo.com

Please write “fiction submission” and the genre the story falls under in the subject line.

Include a cover letter in the body of the email as well as a brief biography.

Your story should be in standard manuscript format.

For artwork, use the same email address—

pulpmodern@yahoo.com

However, in the subject line, write “art submission.”

Please attach your artwork as a .jpg or .gif file.

A cover letter in the body of the email and brief biography would be appreciated as well.

Pulp Modern is a quarterly.

AS OF OCTOBER 14, 2011, THERE ARE NO MORE DEADLINES FOR PULP MODERN. SUBMISSIONS WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR CURRENT OR FUTURE ISSUES.

Thank You,
