Electric Literature just opened a very brief submission window for personal essays. The topic: Novel gazing.<\/p>\n
According to their submission guidelines:<\/p>\n
For the new Novel Gazing, Electric Lit\u2019s personal essay series about the way stories shape our lives, we\u2019re asking: What\u2019s a book that almost killed you? This could mean the book whose ideas landed you in physical danger, or the book that fell on your head and gave you a concussion (assuming that you can tell the latter story in a fully-realized way). If you had a run-in with the Necronomicon, if you risked your life mimicking the exploits of your favorite heroine, if you misunderstood a mycology manual, if you once vowed to eat every page of Moby-Dick <\/em>and almost choked, now\u2019s the time to tell your story. It\u2019s okay if the \u201cbook\u201d in question isn\u2019t strictly a book\u2014movies, TV, and other narrative media will do.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
They pay $60 per accept piece. The length should be between 800 and 4,000 words.<\/p>\n
The deadline is September 21st, 2018.<\/p>\n
