- Short Fiction, Poetry, and Graphic Submissions -
Come to feed the shadow gazers, have you? We're always looking for fresh meat--eh, um, material. Do have a read of our submissions guidelines, then send in your goodies for possible publication on WWM. We're waiting, and watching ...
(our inbox, that is).
About the Wicked Works theme:
Wicked Works is primarily a short story outlet, publishing horror and weird fiction for the fun of it; and this also spills into poetry and graphic illustration. In any case, it's all about what's scary, surreal, and sexy. We wanna go deep and we wanna go dark. We want provocative adult stories and imagery for adult readers, subjects that both disturb and amuse the soul. Optional vulgarity, violence, and pornography are all welcome if presented artfully. Fan fiction is generally discouraged, with exceptions of any works inspired by Lovecraft's Cthulhu or Chambers' King in Yellow mythoi (other exceptions posted here as editor dictates).
Short Story, Flash Fiction, and Poetry Format and Pay Rates:
Send any written work as .doc or .docx or .rtf file attachment (one piece of work per file). Format w/one inch margins all around, double-spaced lines, and an easy-to-read font and font size such as 12pt Times New Roman or Courier. Make sure to include title, author contact info, and word count atop first page. Subsequent pages should include author, title, and page number in the header. Note: this formatting is for quick reads/reviews, and our editor is open to discussing alternative publication formats. Attach file in an Email to editor@wickedworksmag.com, with optional author bio included in the body of the Email message. Subject line syntax should be comparable to this example: Short Story Submission: "A Dark Place" by I.M. Writer. Please submit only one work at a time, and wait for editor response (we try for 30-day response turnaround) before sending another. Submitted works must be produced and owned by the submitter. Rights purchased here are non-exclusive, but we do ask that you provide location and date of first appearance. If accepted for publication, we pay a flat rate of $40 U.S. for flash fiction (up to 1K words) or poems, and $75 U.S. for short stories (>1k through 10K words).
Warning!!! The more you deviate from these guidelines, the less time we'll spend considering your submitted works.
Graphic Illustration Format and Pay Rates:
Main graphic interest is in cover page art. Photograph, illustration, mixed, traditional to digital or experimental mediums. File format .png, .tif, .jpg, 1500 x 1500 pix min. Samples can be lesser quality, but keep in mind that we'll require the above minimums if your work is selected. Must capture the scary, surreal, and sexy essence of our eZine. Attach file in an Email to editor@wickedworksmag.com, with optional bio included in body of Email message. Subject line syntax should be comparable to this example: Graphic Submission: "Creepery" by I.M. Sketcher. Submitted works must be produced and owned by the submitter. Rights purchased here are non-exclusive, but we do ask that you provide location and date of first appearance. We will purchase rights to use your image on our site (including possible image modification for eZine format). Pays $100 for cover art image. Other content imagery negotiable.
Write to editor@wickedworksmag.com with any further questions or comments.
Very best regards, and keep on creeping!
