Sumissions: What's Funky? (Deadline Sept. 31)


Indiana Review is now seeking creative work (art, poetry, fiction, and nonfiction) with a funky aesthetic for our Summer 2008 issue. Funk, of course, defies a single definition, but we're looking for interpretations of funk that make you want to jump back and kiss yourself. We will still be accepting regular submissions, but if you would like your work to be considered for this section, mark it "Attn: Funk Editor".

***Please note that we will only be reading submissions for this special section during the month of September. Anything submitted after this date will be returned (no matter how funky it is).***

How to submit: There is no need to query editors about submitting work. Submission status may be queried by mail or email, but please allow 4 months before querying. All submissions and correspondence MUST include a self-addressed stamped envelope. We cannot respond to submissions otherwise. Include additional postage if work is to be returned. Send only one submission, and wait for a response before sending another. Simultaneous submissions are okay, but we must be promptly notified of acceptance elsewhere. Clearly mark envelope to the appropriate genre editor's attention (e.g. "Fiction Editor"). Include cover letter listing work titles, previous publications and awards, and a SHORT bio. For receipt confirmation, please include email address. Explanations of manuscript meaning, theme, or technique are not necessary. No handwritten, faxed, emailed, or poorly copied/printed manuscripts will be considered. Further, IR cannot consider work (other than book reviews)from anyone currently or recently affiliated with Indiana University.

Sample Issues: Sample copies of IR are available for $9. Add $6 per issue for postage outside of the United States ($3.50 for Canada).

Contact Info: Send all correspondence to address below. Again, please note that we cannot accept email submissions.
