Hypertext - Nonfiction (Fiction)



Description
Note: this publication may close early for submissions if they reach a submission quota; these early closures will not be tracked in this listing.

Note: one submission per type per submission period.

Hypertext isn't looking for perfect stories. We’re looking for writers and visual artists who take chances, push forms, see things differently. We're suckers for stories with a whole lot of life pumping through them, stories from and about all ages and types of people, stories that change the way we view the world.

In addition to startling, vibrant, surprising fiction and essays, Hypertext is looking for serial fiction and graphic novels, editorial cartoons and interviews. If you have ideas for any of these forms, just email us and your idea will be considered.
