Submission Guidelines
GENERAL GUIDELINES: Interpret the theme literally or loosely, as you wish. Our tastes are eclectic. We like fresh, vivid language, and we like stories and poems that are actually about something — that acknowledge a world beyond the writer's own psyche. If they have an edge, if they provoke us to think or make us laugh, so much the better. We strongly suggest reading a previous issue or two before submitting.
While we particularly welcome poetry and very short "screen-reader-friendly" prose or cross-genre pieces (1000 words or fewer), we do publish longer work if we like it well enough. We encourage hypertext and new media (Flash .swf) submissions, also photographs and original graphics.
All readings are "blind" (authors' names and other identifiers are removed). Writers may submit up to 5 poems, prosepoems or flash fictions (500 words max), or 2 longer prose pieces. While we prefer to see work that has not been previously published, we do consider work that has appeared in small-circulation print journals. Simultaneous submissions are fine, but please let us know promptly if you place your piece elsewhere.
HOW TO SUBMIT: Email submissions to
as a Rich Text Format (RTF) attachment or as plain text in the body of your message, and with TH17 in the subject line. For hypertext and Flash submissions, provide us with an URL where we may view the work online. Send graphics in .gif or .jpg format. We reserve the right to resize large images — a courtesy to readers with dial-up internet connections.
