We're
Here to Serve Us!
FYI
This is a web-based journal. We hope to publish a print version of Wheelhouse within the next year. Until then, read, submit, or do something interesting.
SUBMISSION GUIDLINES:
Send all manuscripts, poetry, prose, essays, art, and other ideas to wheelhouse@wheelhousemagazine.com. At this moment we cannot, unlike AOL Time Warner, pay our online contributors in dollars. But we can give you the satisfaction of having something in print, albeit online, in an obscure cyber-location, with little possibility of progressing further.
Specifically:
1) We welcome both new and established writers' submissions. However, we do favor the new writer. And, as Carver has said, "No tricks."
2) Short stories should be short, not long, say, no longer than 8,000 words--as a general rule. Poems should be limited to 3-5 per submission. Essays should be limited to 10,000 words and should adhere as closely as possible to The Chicago Manual of Style. Visual artwork should be submitted in JPEG format. Filmmakers should contact Wheelhouse Magazine for further information regarding formatting.
3) Double space everything. Attach all writing in Microsoft Word. Don't screw around on this.
4) Those published will receive one, big thank you from the editors at this time.
5) We respond reasonably fast, say between 5 nanoseconds and 3 months. No longer. We promise.
6) All copyright reverts to author upon publication. Wheelhouse Magazine reserves one-time electronic copyright for works submitted. All work will be considered for print publication and Wheelhouse Magazine reserves the right to publish all online work in future print editions.
7) Payment to artists and writers selected for print publication: pending grant money, $5 - $40 per printed page, plus copies of Wheelhouse.
IN CASE YOU STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT WE LOOK FOR:
We like pretty much anything that has artistic integrity, a sense of tradition as well as anarchy, and all and anything that you think will contribute positively to the mutiny of today's armada. Just don't send us rubbish, e.g., workshop fiction, confessional poetry, or genre work. We'll throw it away. Also, anything anti-union, anti-gay, or anti-civil rights will need to be, as a matter of handicap, at least 5 times as good as anything that lacks such defects.
