Submissions:
FreezeRay is a mostly quarterly publication.
We will always post our deadlines on the bottom of this page. All else is explained in between here and there...
SUBJECT MATTER (for all mediums) is simply anything to do with pop culture. TV, movies, comic books, video games, music...we're keeping this pretty broad because we geek out on everything and we keep it nerd real like that.
Pop culture is a lot of things; entertainment, allegory, engaging speculative fiction. But for many of us, it is also coping mechanism. We want to hear how you interact with pop culture and how it interacts with you. Dedicated to poems about this nerd life since 2014.
We also suggest if you're a first-time reader/submitter to check out our wonderfully geeky archive of past issues to see what we're all about!
POETRY: FreezeRay accepts previously unpublished work about pop culture (and yes, that includes stuff on your blog/Facebook page/etc). If we do accept a poem that's up at one of your personal social media sites, we ask you to take it down from that site before publication. We will accept 1-5 poems, submitted in one .doc or .pdf file.
IMPORTANT: Please do not put your name on the submission or in the doc title, as we will be reading these blind.
If we receive a submission with any personal information in the document or the the doc title, we will not read it and you will be automatically rejected.
VISUAL ART: We are not taking art submissions at this time.
--------
SIMULTANEOUS SUBMISSIONS are encouraged; we just ask that if you need to withdraw a poem or poems because of acceptance elsewhere, send a notice to freezeraypoetry@gmail.com. If you send a submission to this e-mail, it will not be read.
LEGAL STUFF AND MONEY STUFF:
1. We cannot pay you at this time, except with love and respect.
2. FreezeRay retains First Time Internet rights for all published works. All other rights revert to the author.
3. If a piece of yours is reprinted elsewhere, please give proper credit to FreezeRay for being the visionaries to first publish it. No, really.
SUBMISSIONS FOR ISSUE #20 are OPEN until APRIL 1, 2021!
