So far, I have accepted three stories for the upcoming debut of the new Southern Fried Weirdness. I have several longer stories to go through in my slush pile, but am mostly caught up. If anyone has sent me anything prior to the first of April and hasn't heard back from me yet, please let me know.

I have received a lot of fiction submissions but still need some poetry and non-fiction. For poetry, I am looking for a strong Southern voice or tone created by the imagery. A speculative element would be nice, but is not necessary. I tend to prefer free-verse, but am open-minded when it comes to my taste in poetry. I just like what I like.

Non-fiction: Book/Movie/Music reviews of works which can be classified as 1) Southern 2) Fried and 3) Weird. I am also looking for short articles about weird urban legends and modern myths from the South, be it paranormal (UFO's, Cattle Mutilations, Ghost Stories), to strange families, to weird facts from history, etc. If it's Southern and Weird, send it my way...

I have only had a couple poets submit poetry, and so far I have yet to receive any non-fiction submissions.  

Please read my full submission guidelinesVIEW IMAGE prior to submitting your work

How about a Texas Tall Tale that's a reprint?

With stories from Texas, it really just depends. Texas is where the South meets West. If it reads more "Southern" than yes. However, if it has a more "Western" feel, it probably wouldn't be up my alley. Feel free to send it my way. Even if it doesn't fit, I'd enjoy reading it.

Sure. I can't find your submission guidelines so what address do you want it sent to?

The address for submissions is: southernfriedweirdness_at_gmail_dot_com

I'm not sure why the submission guidelines aren't working. Try typing in www.southernfriedweirdness.com on your browser, and click "Submission Guidelines" on the sidebar. If that doesn't work for some reason, please let me know and let me know what kind of browser you are using. I want to make sure my site works for everyone.
