Disco Kitchen Mag: Fiction Submissions
Overview
Disco Kitchen Mag is a literary magazine currently assembling its fourth volume. The publication seeks fiction manuscripts of around 3,000 words, alongside nonfiction, poetry, art, and experimental work. This call is specifically for fiction, though the magazine's broader parameters indicate a commitment to varied forms and voices. The editorial team reviews submissions with care, as evidenced by their note that contributors will receive updates as the selection process unfolds. The magazine operates online and accepts submissions from remote locations, positioning itself as an accessible platform for writers regardless of geography. A reading fee of $3.00 (USD) applies, a common practice among independent literary journals to offset administrative and production costs. While no monetary prize is offered, publication in Volume 4 provides a credit and a space within a curated collection of contemporary writing. The curatorial vision for Disco Kitchen appears to favor work that engages with the experimental while maintaining a grounding in narrative or thematic coherence. The name itself suggests a blending of the playful and the domestic, the rhythmic and the structured. Fiction submissions should aim for around 3,000 words, a length that allows for developed characters and arcs while demanding concision. The editors have expressed openness to experimental forms, provided they do not exceed the word limit, indicating a willingness to consider unconventional approaches within the fiction category.
