Genres & Theme
Experimental Literary Mainstream Open to all / most themes Pindeldyboz is an operation run by a small but valiant group of people. We publish creative works both here on our website and in the pages of a print volume released once a year. We have been known to publish much fiction, not a lot of nonfiction, and artwork makes an irregular appearance. We plan to release our first poetry collection someday. [IMPORTANT: Writers must choose whether their submissions are for the Print edition or Web edition. For the web edition, stories under 2,000 words; no poetry. For the print edition, stories and creative nonfiction no longer than 10,000 words. They encourage electronic submissions.] * Comments from Duotrope's Digest (and not the editor of this publication) are in green. IMPORTANT: Temporarily closed to submissions for the print issues, but remains open to submissions for their web issues.

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.
