<\/h2>\n

Website<\/h2>\n

This publisher has not updated their site since 2014. DO NOT SEND YOUR WORK!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From the Editor<\/h2>\n

\"strip-sign\"<\/a>We basically started The Strip because we think McSweeney\u2019s is a big fat sellout and we do not understand how people have perfected an invisibility cloak but the Paris Review can\u2019t accept electronic submissions. The Strip is in large part about stroking our own egos and amusing ourselves. And what publication isn\u2019t? We value being honest so much that we\u2019ll do it right here: we, The Editors, have some monumental egos. We do care about your writing and the fact that you submitted. That\u2019s why, before we publish an issue, every submission will get one-sentence-minimum feedback stating at least one real, actual reason we didn\u2019t accept the work, such as: \u201cI saw the title and in the vast pile, yours looked depressingly boring.\u201d or \u201cHey, you probably have something there, but you used a grocer\u2019s apostrophe and I just wasn\u2019t having it today.\u201d or \u201cI\u2019d publish this, but if anyone is going to get published for writing about my exes, it\u2019s me.\u201d Genre divisions are stupid and for booksellers. We are writers. Do you write? Send us your stuff so we can mock it or publish it. We don\u2019t give a shit if you want to call it a lyric prose flash short short or a novella in sestina form. We\u2019re just going to call it writing.<\/p>\n

Submissions<\/h2>\n

We don\u2019t publish work that\u2019s \u201cgood\u201d or \u201cconforms to literary conventions\u201d or has \u201cthe old verities and truths of the heart.\u201d We love that speech, but William Faulkner is dead and he certainly doesn\u2019t run this publication. We take work we fucking like. Our selection process is totally subjective and we don\u2019t have to justify it to you. This is American writing – you know it when you see it. We want stories that knock us on our asses. We don\u2019t want a cover letter. If we don\u2019t know you, we don\u2019t care who you are. We only care about how you write. Did you write this poem while taking care of your cancerous mother? Are terrorists killing people in some malaria-ridden country? In this moment, the one in which we\u2019re reading and trying to escape all that, that matters less than your use of an Oxford comma.<\/p>\n

Upcoming<\/h2>\n

Every issue has a contest that the Editors refer to as “The Gamble” (yeah, Vegas and stripping metaphors run rampant at The Strip). Visit the site for the full guidelines, but here is a summary. “The Gamble” consists of two parts. 1) One Story Stud For one quarter (3 months for the guys and gals without green visors) your story is up for individual downloading (in addition to being included in the full issue), like songs on iTunes. You get paid in increasing increments when you hit 25, 50, and 100 downloads. 2) The Full Jackpot: One story stud is a solo effort, but the full issue is a team bet. This is the one game when the house is betting on you. If we hit a jackpot, everyone wins, including the readers. A partial jackpot occurs at 250 downloads, full jackpot at 500.<\/p>\n
