Poetry
Asphalt Sky is calling all poets to submit their best work. How do you know it’s your best? Does it make your toes tingle, your heart race, and your teeth rattle? Send it in immediately.
Asphalt Sky only wants poetry that is concrete, literate, and thoughtful. Formal or free verse are both welcome, as long as the language sings.
* Submissions are only accepted via email at asphaltsky at gmail dot com.
* Please submit between 3-5 poems in the body of the email.
Fiction
Asphalt Sky wants your best stories. They can be true or they can be lies, as long as the characters are authentic and the language crackles.
Asphalt Sky is looking for stories rooted in a sense of place, plot, and personality.
* Submissions are only accepted via email at asphaltsky at gmail dot com.
* Considering that Asphalt Sky is an online journal, please limit your submissions to one story at a time, 1000 words max.
Art
Asphalt Sky needs the images that haunt your dreams, the ones inscribed on the back of your eyelids, the pictures you had to create to get them out of your head.
Asphalt Sky will take photography, painting, drawing — anything that can be posted on the internet. Legally and ethically.
* Submissions are only accepted via email at asphaltsky at gmail dot com.
* Please submit between 2-4 images, posted in the body of the email. Attachments will not be opened, for fear of evil email viruses. Once images are accepted for publication, you will need a high quality jpeg file to send.
General Policies
* Simultaneous submissions are happily accepted. If you strike publication gold, please email to notify.
* Payment for the use of your work is the editor’s eternal gratitude, the tireless promotion of your participation in the journal, and the joy of seeing your name emblazoned upon the computer screen. Copyright reverts to the author after initial publication.
If you have any questions, email us at asphaltsky at gmail dot com.
