Welcome to NFG! We are a new magazine based in Toronto, Canada, with staff and distribution throughout the world. Our goal is to showcase the works of great, new artists with curved, edge-of-your-seat fiction, poetry that pushes the limits of human nature, art, comics/strips, articles and interviews. A group of artists seeking artists of the 21st century. Are you driven to make your mark in the wet cement, with the ability and persistence to see it harden? Please--step here.
FICTION:
Original, unpublished fiction up to 7500 words in any genre that provokes, disturbs, awakens and shakes up the minds and emotions of those who read it. Fantasy, horror, slipstream, science fiction, historical fiction, character driven stories you can't stop thinking about. No multiple or simultaneous submissions please.
POETRY:
Fresh, daring poets that are able to reach out and stun the consciousness with their unique views. All forms and lengths accepted for those that aren't afraid to take poetry beyond the limits.
ARTICLES & INTERVIEWS:
An interview with a well-known (or not so known) author, a break-away home-town band to essays on how you marketed your first e-novel--if it's interesting, informative and researched, we'd love to see it.
ART:
We're in need of illustrators for stories, articles, cartoons and cartoon strips that will reflect the magazine's edgy, exciting attitude.
We recommend you check out our "Call for Art" to see more specifically what we are looking for at any given point in time.
COMICS:
Feature strips--think comics like 1950's Tales From The Crypt, The Twilight Zone or Strange Tales. We're also looking for a variety of others, such as one-cell comics and short, humorous strips. Hit a nerve. Cause a reaction.
HOW TO SUBMIT:
All submissions are accepted on-line only. Plain text (.txt) submissions for fiction, poetry, articles and interviews. As standard, use underscores to indicate italics and asterisks to indicate bold. For artwork submissions, we require .gif, .jpg or .png, though we expect .psd or .eps for actual production.
Mac Users -- if you don't know how to save stuff as text, or if you do but stuff still doesn't seem to be working (please always verify that your work made it by checking "Your Info" after submitting it, regardless of email messages you may get) and check out: mac tips
