Submissions

The Journal of Compressed Creative Arts is currently closed to poetry, prose fiction, and creative nonfiction submissions at this time. We publish (very) tiny, compressed prose creations of 600 words or less. We use Submishmash for all submissions.  We value form, character, and words that fit to both.  Experimentation is interesting.  Experimentation for the sake of appearing experimental is less interesting.  We like close reading and close writing.  We like to feel what we read before we understand. Again, submissions for poetry and prose are now closed and will open again on January 15, 2013.

We will also be  looking for visual arts projects that incorporate the idea of compressed text into the work. We are especially interested in a series of visual arts pieces that can be published once a week over a period of a month or several months. We pay in the range of $50 – $100 for the rights to publish such a series. We might also be interested in purchasing the pieces outright. Please let us know in a cover letter if the pieces are available for purchase and the asking price. Please submit the visual arts series/project, if possible, as a single PDF document. If your project is chosen for publication, we will be requesting the individual files (.jpg or .tiff). Beginning on January 15, 2013, please submit your work here.
