SEPTEMBER THEME
NOW OPEN
Yes, it’s that time again. PUNK NOIR Magazine throwing another flash theme out there to sharpen your writing teeth on!
We all love our mothers… don’t we?
Those givers of life, and often a dying man’s last words.
Mother.
Mom.
Mummy.
Ma.
I want your mother related flash stories. Take the word and run with it. Have fun.
I’m going to choose the best stories and will publish them in Punk Noir during September. There’s not much time to get your submissions in, so get to it, folks.
Remember though, 200 words MAX!
(All pieces MUST be in a
Word Doc w/a 3rd person BIO)
Please give me some kind of a greeting, folks. Don’t just rudely attach your submission to an empty email and expect me to read it like you’re some kind of a literary megastar beyond simple salutations. I hate that.
Subs OPEN UNTIL SEPTEMBER 31st
