SIR! Reopens for Subs

SIR! is badass. And now reading again for issue 2. If issue 1 is any indicator, myself notwithstanding, SIR! is going to be decapitating bitches for some time to come, and doing it and doing it and doing it well. Sorry, I’ve had too much coffee, but send some words:

SIR! will be taking submissions from December to January for an upcoming February issue. There is no outright emphasis on content or form, but we remain enthusiastic about poetry of all sorts. Flash fiction is accepted, but again, we are mostly looking for poetry. Send 3-6 of your latest and best inventions. You may send them in the body of an email, or as a WORD or RTF attachment. Translations very welcome. Simultaneous submissions are accepted. Please include a short cover letter and a bio. Submissions without any sort of bio will be deleted.

Send all work to – sir.editor@gmail.com

      yeah, the first issue of sir! was stellar, but the no bio thing strikes me as unnecesarily rigid. I always feel like zines shoot themselves in the foot when they set antagonistic guidelines. I’ve definitely passed on submiting to places that ‘require bios’ when comparing where to send, and when there are as many decent places out there who aren’t as anal. Bad though that I’ve gotten that lazy. I used to have a stock bio but it changed so often that I gave up trying to keep it, and now bio writing is the thing I dread and only write if someone asks for it.
