The submission can be of any length, but must be submitted in Word or PDF format. Manuscripts should be submitted to us via email at egerdes@experimentalfiction.com. Two documents need to be submitted.
First, the manuscript itself should not contain the author’s name or address.
Second, a separate sheet should be submitted with the title of the submission and the author’s contact information.
Additionally, all entries need to include a four-digit identifying number of the author’s choosing. This number should appear in the subject line of the email, on the manuscript, and on the contact information form.
