escarp    
Description

 
What? escarp is a text-message-based review of super-brief literature. We publish original, user-submitted poems and stories (fiction and non-). When? We like the work we publish to interrupt you--to remind you words exist. We follow no set schedule, but won't post more than one a day. Where? escarp can be read here, through any twitter/RSS app, or via text message. When readers retweet or forward work they like, we're everywhere. Why? We belive the frequent intrusion of literature into our lives works to erode the containers our culture tries to place it in. How? We make literature relevant to normal people by reaching our readers through the social spaces they live, work and play in.
 
No interview is available for this publication. If you are the editor, you may request an interview here.

Before Submitting
We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. 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.
