Submissions

We are currently having a poetry contest. Please see the main page for details.

Alien Sloth Sex publishes poetry, fiction, non-fiction, and art, but we are also interested in publishing more experimental works that would potentially be turned down by other magazines because of formatting or layout concerns. Examples we have encountered in the past include the use of multiple font types, or collages that combine words and images. If you think you have something like this, please contact us and we will be happy to discuss any special considerations your submission may require.

 

The following is a list of general guidelines for all submissions:

 

1) Please note that we do not encourage simultaneous submissions. Because it is heartbreaking when we get a piece that we love that we cannot publish. I know--we're selfish. But, we've been hurt too many times

:(

 

2) If we like your stuff but don't have enough room for it in the print issue, we will consider it for Alien Sloth Sex Presents (on our home page). This is currently the only way that work is selected for this section. If you do not want to be considered for ASS Presents, please make a note of it on your submission.

 

3) Also, in case you're wondering, Alien Sloth Sex is only interested in publishing original, unpublished works.

 

4) All submissions should include a short 30 word bio and a mailing address (only to be used for your contributors copy).

 

Please send submissions to either alienslothsex@gmail.com, or:

Poetry

Please send up to 5 poems as one attachment, either .doc or .rtf.

Prose

Please send one prose submissions at a time, as either a .doc or .rtf attachment. We consider work up to 1000 words. Work that's over 1000 words needs to be really amazing because we don't have that much room (1 page = approx. 500 words).

 

We also accept non-fiction up to 1000 words.

Images

PLESE NOTE: Alien Sloth Sex will no longer be accepting full color art submissions at this time. We already have enough cover art for the foreseeable future, and we do not want to accept more too far in advance. Black and white art submissions will still be gladly accepted. We will make an announcement when we begin accepting cover art again.

All images should be either sent as a .jpg or .tiff via e-mail, or if sent by mail, should be a)photocopies (never send originals) and b) small enough to fit a regular scanner. Please include a title with each image, even if it's "Untitled." Please do not just send us a link to your portfolio.
