Soundzine is a

literary e-zine that features poetry and prose from around the world accompanied by spoken recordings of each piece by the author or a voice actor, and artwork specifically chosen by an artistic director to complement the imagery present in the piece.

Soundzine is now up to its tenth  issue, and we’re again looking for submissions to join our ever-growing archive of excellent spoken word. To celebrate our milestone we moved into new digs at http://www.soundzine.net where our ‘Green’ themed tenth issue can now be perused, consumed, or ambled through at your leisure. I think you’ll agree that the quality of poetry and prose that can be found throughout all of the issues is of a high standard, and the added bonus of actually hearing the words spoken aloud is one that is rare in e-journals.

Soundzine is now looking for submissions to its eleventh issue, with the theme of ‘Sapphic’. Anything related to Sapphic goes. By Lesbians. About Lesbians. About Sappho. In Sapphics. Be Sapphic.

In my role as prose editor at Soundzine, I’m looking for any short stories or flash fiction you wish to send in. We have an 800 word maximum (mainly to keep reading times, and therefore file sizes, manageable) and we follow the Voiceworks school of thought with respect to the theme, i.e.:

  • Themed work = good
  • Good work = better
  • Good, themed work = BEST

So if you don’t feel like you can write to our theme, don’t worry! Send in your best work and we’ll see what we can do about getting you into our next issue.

Prose submissions can be sent to prose [at] soundzine [dot] net, while everything else (poetry, articles, pitches) can be sent to submissions [at] soundzine [dot] org and we have a pretty quick turnaround on everything. The due date for issue 11 is June 15th.

Please, tell your friends, retweet this, and get the word around. I’ll be posting further calls as we get closer to the deadline. If you have any further questions regarding submissions, feel free to contact me on twitter @toothsoup. Now g’arn, get writing. (:
