| Information about your publication: | Words in their purist form both cut and repair, sometimes simultaneously.? They have been used to create impact and empires, to bring peace in times of war and set battles in motion.? Words have not been given the credit they are owed.? Scissors and spackle wants to slip back into the power of words and is searching for artists who string them together in ways that make us remember. We are not concerned with what box or title an artist’s work fits into, or how many words it takes them to get there.? We are only interested in the destination. We are interested in fiction with out boundaries. |
| What type of submissions you are looking for: | We want to be provoked. Though we have a particular personal bent towards Americana and urban fiction, we put no restriction on genre. Send us your best stuff, erotica, horror, pie charts, resumesa whatever has the blood sweat and cum of the effort on it. We fear the clicha so if you are writing about PBR and trailer parks or sexy zombies it better be damn good, we know it can be. scissors and spackle will not publish work by any writer who is ‘reminiscant of’ or ‘in the tradition of’any of great or not so great authors past. We love Bukowski, Carver and Bradbury but they have written their own works quite perfectly. If they want to read them again we will scan the bookshelf. We want you. Your bloody words ripped from the heart of your boring cubicle or kitchen. It is your sweat stain we want to imagine on the key board. We will publish works from established writers, yes, but we hope to focus primarily on writing from emerging talent, especially those who have a difficult time fitting their writing into the specifications of other publications. Those who are no strangers to the words ‘thank you for sharing you work with us…unfortunately’ |
