Deadline: 1 November 2010
Eligibility: no restrictions
Reading Fee: none
Accepts (genre): poems, short stories, non-fiction
Prize/Payment: publication
There, now I have your attention… The theme for the eighth issue of Beatdom is “s*x”. That means we want to know what the Beats thought about s*x, what they wrote about s*x, what influence sex had upon their work, who they had sex with, when they had s*x… S*x s*x s*x.
Maybe “s*x” strikes you as more than f*cking. Maybe you want to explore the Beat Generation and gender. The “s*x” issue means what our writers want it to mean.
As usual, we will be accepting poems, artwork and short stories, but preference will be given to informative pieces of non-fiction relating to the Beat Generation, or at least to literature.
Examples: You could write about Kerouac’s s*x life, about er*ticism in Ginsberg’s poetry, s*xism against female poets. There’s a 1977 issue of National Scr*w that features both an interview with Ginsberg and a short story by Burroughs (called ‘Los Ninos Locos’).
Deadline for submissions is November 1st. Send all submissions to editor@beatdom.com along with a brief bio and a description of the submission.
