many plots/one premise
THEMA, the theme-related journal, has three goals. One is to provide a stimulating forum for established and emerging literary artists. The second is to serve as source material and inspiration for teachers of creative writing. The third is to provide readers with a unique and entertaining collection of stories and poems.
Submissions:
ALL SHORT STORIES, ESSAYS, POEMS, and ART MUST RELATE TO ONE OF THE PREMISES SPECIFIED BELOW.
Upcoming premises (target themes) and deadlines for submission:
Math & music (November 1, 2009)
The trip not taken (March 1, 2010)
About two miles down the road (July 1, 2009)
The premise (target theme) must be an integral part of the plot, not necessarily the central theme but not merely incidental. Fewer than 20 double spaced pages preferred. Indicate premise (target theme) on title page. Because manuscripts are evaluated in blind review, do NOT put author's name on any page beyond the title page. Indicate target theme in cover letter or on first page of manuscript. Include self-addressed, stamped envelope (SASE) with each submission. Rejected manuscripts unaccompanied by an SASE will not be returned. Response time: 3 months after premise deadline. NO READER'S FEE.
On acceptance for publication, we will pay the following amount: short story, $25; short-short piece (up to 1000 words), $10; poem, $10; artwork, $25 for cover, $10 for interior page display.
