Even More Submissions

In case you missed it the other day, submissions are now open again. Please check out our full guidelines and send us what you’ve got.

But that’s not all! In an effort to update the site with new content more than once a month, we’re also instituting two new features:

The First 22 will involve a series of short stories set in the Exponential Apocalypse universe prior to the events of the book, written by Eirik and updated whenever he’s got a finished story that doesn’t suck.

Brilliant Disguise, on the other hand, is open to everyone. We’re looking for stories inspired by the lyrics of Bruce Springsteen. We’re going to be a bit more lenient with tone and style, but submissions need to be under 1,000 words. Full guidelines are here.

So there you go. More reasons to read, but, more importantly, even more reasons to write. We’ll be waiting patiently by our inbox.

Submissions Now Open

It’s January 3rd, 2011, and you know what that means. Jersey Devil Press is now open to submissions. You can read our full guidelines here.

seriously, read the guidelinesAnd, seriously, read them. There’s a few minor changes in there, most notably that we request you wait two weeks before resubmitting after a rejection. It’s for your benefit and ours.

In the meantime, be sure to read Issue Sixteen to get a feel for what we like.

And, seriously, read it. We’re not gonna quiz you or anything, but it’s kind of a dick move to submit to a magazine without actually reading at least one issue.

Album of the Year

Another year down, another pterodactyl not punched. I’ve had the same resolution for years now, but it never gets any easier to keep it.

Anyway, if you’re likewise feeling retrospective (or just hungover) you’d do well to re-read Gavin Broom’s excellent “Album of the Year,” from back in our eighth issue.

Speaking of Gavin and new issues, be sure to check out the second installment of his Waterhouse Review, including a story by yours truly. And — if you somehow missed it in the craziness that’s been the last few weeks — don’t forget that the newest issue of Jersey Devil Press is also up now.

Yes, it’s a lot of reading, but I have faith in you. Happy 2011.

P.S. We’ll be reopening submissions on Monday, January 3rd. Just sit tight ’til then.
