Give your broken bones a cloudy home.

POETRY

.The backbone of our little publication. Please send us your worst poems

PROSE

Fiction, flash fiction, creative non-fiction, and other assorted genres. If it's bad, it will get published.

ART

Send us pictures of your adorable animals, preferably cats, to spruce up our first issue!

At bone&marrow, we are interested in the interconnectedness between words and the concrete world. We will accept many submissions, but we do ask for you to please send your worst. We will read all pieces carefully and attentively. While engaging with a piece, we will ask ourselves the following questions:

• Does this suck?
• Is this bad?
• Is it downright horrible?

If your work meets one or more of these qualifications, we will jump at the chance to showcase your skills. We especially appreciate satire, humorous subjects, and cat pictures. If your piece is deemed as too good for our publication, we will suggest that you submit it elsewhere.

Guidelines

• All submissions should be sent in doc, docx, or pdf.
• Formatting for all pieces should be in Times New Roman, pt. 12 font.
• Prose submissions should be double spaced.
• We accept previously unpublished work. All rights revert back to the author/artist after publication of the issue.
  
• We do accept simultaneous submissions, but please let us know as soon as possible if your submission is accepted elsewhere.
  
• If a piece has been posted on social media, we will allow it. Just please don't do anything that will get us sued.
  
• Send us anywhere from 1-5 poems. We prefer that they all be in one document. We prefer a maximum of 5 pages of poetry.
• At the moment, the word limit for a prose piece (fiction, creative non-fiction) is 2,500 words. You can send 1-3 pieces of prose.
• Send anywhere from 1-5 pictures of your adorable animals as an art submission.
• Please try to refrain from using any crazy spacing unless it is used satirically.
