New Diet Soap Submission Guidelines



Diet Soap will publish one last themed issue on “Slavery,” and will then publish stories and essays online and in one annual print edition. Stories selected for this last themed issue will also be published online. All stories accepted for publication will be in the running to be read on the podcast.

Submissions that do not include contact information on the attached word file will be rejected silently and in secret. You will never hear from us if you don’t include contact information on your word file.

We pay a flat $5 honorarium for everything. Send your prose to douglain{at}dietsoap.org and your poetry to poetry{at}dietsoap.org. Please include the words “submission diet soap” in the subject line and your contact information in the attached word document or RTF.

Submission deadline for Issue #4 (Theme: Slavery) is September 25th, 2009. Reprints are welcome.
