Name Calling is a new online literary magazine featuring creative non-fiction works. The site will launch in early ’09.
PROMPT:
Write a story about your name. (And by story, we mean story. Please don’t submit a ‘baby names’ definition or a genealogy unless it adds to your story.)
Submissions can be essays, poetry, or short stories but must be no more than 500 words.
HOW TO SUBMIT:
Email work to: namecallingmag@gmail.com
Include your name, email, website, phone number, city and state.
The email and website address listed should be the ones you would like to appear linked to your story should we choose to publish your submission. If you do not want your email or web address linked to your story, please tell us so.
Submissions may be subject to edits.
DEADLINE:
To be considered for the launching of the site (Winter/Spring ‘09), please submit by January 15, 2009. Submissions received after the 15th will be read for subsequent issues/posts.
PAYMENT:
No monetary compensation but if this ever takes print form, selected authors will be the first to know and to receive “something”. Seriously, it could happen. Even with the economy falling apart.
RESPONSE TIME:
We read every submission and will do our best to respond to you within two weeks of receipt.
