Journey Into... Submissions

Submissions for the Journey Into... Podcast will be open April 15, 2012. 

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES 

First of all, thank you for sending stories our way. I am Marshal Latham, the chief editor of the podcast. Judy Kyrala and Kris Carter are the submissions editors who will first receive your stories. 

Story Size 

We are interested in stories that are up to 2100 words in length. This is typically referred to as flash fiction, which I think by definition is between 1000 to 2000 words, but I extended it to 2100 words just to soften the border a bit and allow you the ability to "spill over" by a few words if necessary. The podcast does run longer stories, but those are not open for general submissions at this time. 

Compensation

Unfortunately I am not offering any payment for flash fiction at this time. Hopefully, that will change. 

Story Content 

Genre: I am open to all genres, except for erotica. One of the things I am going for is variety: from sci-fi to mystery, fantasy to drama, horror to comedy, adventure, westerns, even romance, or any combination thereof.  I guess I do have a preference for speculative fiction, but I also like an assortment of fiction. 

Subject matter:  I do not want explicit sexual or violent content.  I am looking for stories from a G to PG-13ish range.  That is not to say that you cannot include a darker tinge or that I want you to pretend sexual feelings and activities don’t exist.  I just don’t want that to be the main focus of the story or contain graphic descriptions.  Listening to the podcast is probably your best guide. 

Where to send

You may send submissions by email to journeyintosubs (at) gmail (dot) com. 

Format of submission: 

Do not send attachments. 

The subject line of your email shall contain the title, in ALL CAPS, and the author (real or pseudonym) of the story.  For example: 

THE ANATOMY OF A BURGER by Jim Dandy 

Within the body of the email, include your real name, physical address, email address, a minimal introduction (the story should speak for itself as far as qualifications), the title of the story, the byline, and the text of the story itself. 

Response 

We hope to get back to you with an acceptance/rejection within one month, probably sooner.  If you have not heard back from us in six months, please ask us about it.

Journey Into... Frustration and Delay

Sorry about the delay. Work has become intense. I just worked a 16 hour day plus travel. I was hoping to get the episode up tonight. All I have to do is record the intro/outro and get out the file. I will do my best.

Wrong Turns

Okay a couple of things that I messed up on.  I realized that I was linking to the wrong Man In Space music group so I went to change all of the links and ended up releasing The Machine Stops, part 2 earlier than intended.  I could have deleted the post, but the mp3 had already gone out to iTunes so what is the point.  Anyway, enjoy the back to back postings.
