To help us mark the occasion of our 35th anniversary, Briarpatch Magazine invites submissions of short narratives, essays, interviews, profiles, historical overviews and archival materials (photos, old event posters, arrest warrants, etc.) for inclusion in our 35th anniversary issue (Sept./Oct. 2008). We are particularly interested in first-hand accounts of pivotal moments, major crises, significant victories, and humorous happenings in the life of the magazine that will provide current readers with revealing glimpses of the rich and sometimes sordid history of this feisty rag. Short submissions can be addressed as letters to the editor.
Because of space limitations, we may not be able to print all the submissions we receive. We will edit your work, often quite heavily, but contributors will have the opportunity to approve or disapprove of editorial changes prior to publication.
If you are interested in contributing a longer piece of writing to this issue, please query us before May 26. Your query should outline what ground your contribution will cover, give an estimated word count, and indicate your relevant experience or background in writing about the issue.
Unsolicited shorter submissions are welcome, and must be received by July 4 at the latest.
Send your queries/submissions to editor AT briarpatchmagazine DOT com.
Please include your mailing address with your submission so we can give you a complimentary one-year subscription if we use your work as a way of saying thanks. Feature articles will be paid at a rate of $0.05 per word.
