Fleas on the Dog

WE ARE ON AN  INDEFINITE HIATUS. SUBMISSIONS ARE CLOSED.

We a collective of writers/editors who publish a non-profit online magazine for those who are on the avant-garde and outside the box. 

WHAT WE LIKE 

Fiction: We take pretty much everything. Mainstream, traditional, literary, barbaric yawps, flash, metafiction, experimental, sci/fi, speculative, fantasy, mystery, micro, nano, grunge, bad (but it better be good!), modernist, post-modernist, spamlit, kitschlit, retro, metro, outsider, novel excerpts, graphic stories, even comics.   Our only criterion is quality. 

Poetry: Up to FIVE poems, any style. Poems beyond that number will not be read.

Plays: Any style up to five acts. Screenplays: any subject, any length.

Politically incorrect is welcome as long as it doesn’t devolve into invective!!

WHO YOU ARE

Anybody whose engines burn when they write. You can have won literary awards or never been published at all. Degrees don’t impress us—it’s your work that matters.
