Saxifrage Press Poetry: we like narratives (simple or complex), grounded in imagery, that don’t shy away from the lyric impulse. A keen ear, well defined speakers, an attention to place—formal, free verse, experimental, try us out. Fiction: we want scene vs. exposition. We want showing rather than telling. We want beautiful language and syntactical mastery. Don’t be afraid to send us work that doesn’t seem to fit anywhere else—the absurd, the macabre—but please, no genre. Art: everything from sculpture to oil on canvas, surprise us!	Poetry, Fiction	Yes	Yes	Jan 1 - Dec 31	Web E-publication Audio Video
	Payment: No payment
Scarlet Literary Magazine Dark Romantic poetry, prose, short stories & art. Prefer rhymed & metered verse, but will consider other styles of quality work. We also accept spoken word.	Poetry, Fiction	Yes	Yes	Jan 1 - Dec 31	Web E-publication Audio
	Payment: No payment Subgenre: Prose Poetry
scissors and spackle Words in their purest form both cut and repair, sometimes simultaneously. We believe that words have not been given the credit they are due often enough. Scissors and spackle wants to slip back into the power of words and is searching for artists who string them together in ways that make us remember. We are not concerned with what box or title an artist's work fits into, or how many words it takes them to get there. We are only interested in the destination. We are interested in fiction without boundaries.	Poetry, Fiction, Creative Nonfiction	Yes	Yes	Jan 1 - Dec 31	Web Print
	Subgenre: Autobiography/Memoir, Cross-genre, Experimental, Feminist, Flash Fiction, Graphic/Illustrated, Humor, Literary Fiction, Micro-poetry, Narrative Nonfiction, Prose Poetry
