SmokeLong Quarterly - Fiction
(Nonfiction)
Description
Note: remove identifying information from manuscript for anonymous judging.
Note: submissions may be made in English, French, or German.
The SLQ aesthetic remains an ever-changing, ever-elusive set of principles, but it most likely has to do with these kinds of things:
language that surprises
narratives that strive toward something other than a final punch line or twist
pieces that add up to something, oftentimes (but not necessarily always) meaning or emotional resonance
honest work that feels as if it has far more purpose than a writer wanting to write a story
