What will be published here at T.E.S. will be written mostly
by unpublished writers. If you have something lying around,
and you think it is unique and deserving of publication on our
site, then follow the guidelines below and submit your work
to us. All submissions will be screened and posted at the editors'
discretion and according to their current tastes and/or mood-swings.
You will not be payed monetarily for your submissions, but
you will certainly be thanked and appreciated and lavished with
praise and maybe sprinkled with something.
Do not submit poetry.
Keep online submissions under 1500 words, and preferrably closer
to 500 or 1000. Even 300. Anywhere from 1 word to 1500 words.
--------------------------------------------------------------
- You may send the work via email (note:
this email has changed!): info[at]theedwardsociety.com
(replace [at] with @)
Send your submission as a Microsoft Word attachement. If you
absolutely don't have a clue how to do this, you may paste the
text into the email - however we don't recommend this as certain
punctuation tends to get read in funny ways through email. If
you send it in any other format, you will be fined heavily.
Also: We don't get back to everyone. We don't even try to.
Sometimes, if you are persistent in your quest for literary
abuse, we will write you back to tell you why we did not want
your story. In this situation, we may be somewhat blunt, maybe
even hurtful. If we do want your writing on our site, you will
hear from us fairly promptly.
--------------------------------------------------------------
GUIDELINES:
- Please do not submit previously published work. It's goofy
to do that.
- Please do not submit the same work more than once, unless
it has been revised in some way. If you didn't hear from us,
it's not because we didn't read your thing.
- Submissions may be fiction, non-fiction, letters, lists,
reviews of things not normally reviewed, etc, etc but not
including poetry - as long as you find it interesting
and unique (This does not of course mean that we will find it
so, or that it will be published here).
- If you submit poetry we will print it out and torch it. We
like poetry, just probably not yours. If you are absolutely
hell-bent on submitting your poems because you think we will
be so floored by them that we will bend our usual rules just
for you, then fine, do whatever you fucking want. See if we
care.
