Call for fiction submissions | StupidBird magazine | Indian subcontinent
Deadline: 14 June 2013

StupidBird is an online zine started by a group of people that loves reading humor in all its forms. We are trying to put together a magazine that showcases the works of writers who have a flair for writing humor. We seriously feel there is fast developing a taste for such writing and we'd like to see that for ourselves through this magazine.

Only a few days old, StupidBird is currently seeking writers to contribute to its first edition with short humorous stories. We are seeking previously unpublished work. Stories published only on your personal blog can be sent as well.

Here's a link to the e-zine: www.stupidbird.in. It's still in the developing stages and we should be up and running by July, which is when we plan to roll out the first edition. Please refer to the complete set of guidelines given below.

GUIDELINES:
  • Only short fiction stories, not exceeding 2000 words in length will be accepted. Types of humor can range from anecdotal and situational to satirical, tongue-in-cheek parodies.
  • Writers must be from/based in the Indian subcontinent.
  • Writers will retain all rights to their submitted stories. We are seeking previously unpublished work. Stories published only on your personal blog can be sent as well.
  • If you are writing in, kindly let us know before the deadline by mailing us at edit@stupidbird.in.
  • Final entries should be sent to edit@stupidbird.in on or before June 14th, 2013. Please state your full name in your email. Do include a photograph and a short bio of yourself (two or three lines; written in third-person).
In case of any questions, feel free to get in touch with us at edit@stupidbird.in. We are eager to flag this journey off with a lot of keen writers. Looking forward to your submissions!
