We pride ourselves on giving everyone (high schoolers, convicts, movie executives, etc.) an equal shot at publication, based solely on the quality of their work. As such, there are no criteria for who can submit. Because we like eclecticism, we tend to favor the varied perspectives that often characterize the work of international authors, people of color, women, alternative lifestylists, and straight white men's”but others who don't fit into these categories often surprise us. Although we are interested in all styles and genres of writing, prospective authors are still encouraged to read a current issue of Eclectica before submitting. We are always interested in fiction, poetry, essays, creative nonfiction, drama, book and movie reviews, travel writing, interviews and humor/satire. Works which cross genres' or create new ones'"are especially encouraged. This includes prose poems, "heavy" opinion, works combining visual art and writing, electronic multimedia, hypertext/HTML, and types we have yet to imagine. There are no restrictions as to length. We are happy to consider long stories and novel excerpts, although we may discuss serialization of extremely long pieces.
