I may be a bit ambivalent about Adbusters magazine's mission,* but I thought this call for short written submissions for their next issue looks interesting...
Dear Jammers and Creatives,*I mean, I do have a pair of black Converse that I know I probably should trade in for these, but...it's just not the same.We're already hard at work on the next issue - #68, dedicated to creative non-fiction - and we're hoping that some of you will let us pick your brains. We're looking for 100 to 200 word, punchy, sad, crazy, or rude pieces inspired by a major event or epiphany in your life. It could be about anything really . . . a haiku, a poem, a travel remembrance, an anecdote about living in the post s11 era, a piece about discovering one of your family's dark secrets. We're looking for stories that provoke and that go straight to the heart, with a "slice of life" feeling to them.
We'd like to pepper these short pieces throughout our upcoming issue. One warning: the deadline is tight, so we need all submissions sent to editor@adbusters.org by July 26th. If we decide to go with your submission, you'll get to see your name in print, and we'll also pay you 50 cents/word.
Remember: keep it short, keep it true, and fire it off to us as quickly as you can.
Cheers,
The Adbusters Team.
