Genres & Theme
Cross Genre / Slipstream Experimental Magic Realism / Surrealism Open to all / most themes A cappella Zoo invites submissions of fiction, poetry, creative non-fiction, plays, bilingual works, translations, photography, art, and genre-bending works. We are especially excited about experimental fiction and magical realism. We ask for literary* works. A submission should not appeal only to fans of a specific genre, but may certainly include elements of ethnic, feminist, gay/lesbian, historical, fantasy, science fiction, adventure, mystery, and horror writing. We are looking for writing that is fresh from start to finish, and especially work that is unique and experimental in technique, form, language, and thought. Be creative.

Before Submitting
We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close overnight. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Just remember ...

• Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
• Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
• Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
• For novel/collection publishers, it is standard to submit a cover letter, synopsis, and sample instead of the full manuscript.  Do this unless otherwise instructed.
• Include a SASE with all mailed submissions, queries, and requests for guidelines.
• Be professional, patient and persistent.
