Submissions for Issue 16 are now open. Send us your stuff! The theme for ISSUE 16 is PERFORMANCE. Performance is rarely associated with the textual medium or the medium of still visual art. What does performance mean to you then? When do you feel like you’re performing? What do you associate with the concept? Do you have ways of thinking where the text and still visuals can be seen as a performance? Performance as the schism between ‘feel like’ and ‘seen as’. The theme is meant to be taken as a prompt rather than a restriction. We are not looking for you to answer the above questions. They are merely suggestions surrounding the theme in order to kickstart a line of thought for you. What we are looking for is for you to make the theme your own and show us your explorations with it. You can play with the theme, go beyond it, subvert it, appropriate it, experiment with it. All that matters is you staying personal, passionate and raw with whatever you create. Prompt words: self, ‘the other’, gaze, anxiety, release, catharsis Submission guidelines: Fiction- 1000 to 3000 words Creative Nonfiction- upto 2000 words Poetry- upto 3 poems Art- 5 to 10 pieces Photography- 5 to 10 However, we also welcome work that defies the above categories or flows fluidly through many. Please note that we only consider work that is previously UNpublished (that includes print, digital, internet, social media and blog). Send textual stuff as word doc, visual art as jpg. We accept submissions in English as well as Marathi and Hindi. Send your work at contact.pseudomag@gmail.com Kindly include a short bio (in third person) in the body of the email. The deadline for the submissions for Issue 16 is 20th of February 2019. Please wait for at least 20 days after the deadline to hear back from us. Can’t wait to see you in our inbox! #literature #art #poetry #fiction #photography #litmag #literarymagazine #submission #submissionguidelines
