Submission Guidelines

Eotu Ezine publishes short stories, poetry and artwork without regard to genre, though the editor's taste runs to experimental, sci-fi, horror and fantasy. We like experimental styles of telling stories, new forms, new exploration, in addition to well written content.

PLEASE NOTE: Decisions on stories are made during the month before an issue is published. If you are sending a story for a particular issue, the best time is about 4-6 weeks before publication date. (May for June, July for August, etc.) We try to respond to all submissions in 2 months, though depending on when your work was submitted and when publication dates fall, sometimes response time stretches to 3 months. If we keep your work longer than 2 months you should ask us about its status. As much as we love it, e-mail still isn't the most reliable means of communication. Many times stories have never reached us, or our response to you has never arrived.

FOR ALL ISSUES:

• Stories should be short, not more than about 3000 words.
• Poems shouldn't be much longer than about 30 lines.
• Artwork, who knows. Our tastes run the same here as for fiction, but whatever you're into, I'm sure we're into also.
• Please send stories and poems preferably in the body of an e-mail. Art can be sent as an attachment.
• Please put the title of your work in the subject line of your e-mail.
• It's nice, too, if you send a short bio with your work so we have something to put on the contributor's page about you.
• And if you send your snail mail address with the story, it's easier to send you a check on acceptance.
• If you want to donate your work to the cause (keeping the small e-press thriving) or wish to remain anonymous, that's okay, people do both. Just let us know. And do be aware that letting us use your work for free does not give you better odds of getting published here.

If your work is on a web page, we don't mind going there to look at it. Especially artists with a variety of work they'd allow us to choose from, and especially hypertext writers. Anyone with a web site, send us your url. Whatever works. The point here is that we want to showcase what talented, crafted, writers and artists are creating. We don't want to set limits at this point in the game. Who knows, you're probably doing something we've never thought of. So how could we describe it here?

WE BUY One Time Online Rights, which means your work will be published in one issue of Eotu Ezine. That issue will remain on the main site for 2 months and then archived for 10 months. Work that has been published elsewhere is okay. (Let us know when and where). We prefer not to receive simultaneous submissions.

We ask that during the two months your story is in the current EOTU you do not allow your work to be published new elsewhere online, except for your personal web site. During the time your story is archived (after your first two months on EOTU) you may get it published anywhere you can.

Payment is 1¢ per word for any story ($5.00) minimum, $5.00 for any poem or artwork published, $20.00 for a 'page' of art - usually 5-10 pieces. A check will be snail mailed to you on acceptance. Any questions, concerns or comments? Ask the Editor.
