October 10, 2009:
To our potential contributors:
Our current project is taking much longer to complete than we planned, and so we will be unable to read new material until at least June 30, 2010.
Again, with all our apologies. We wish it were otherwise.
GobQ, LLC.
January 12, 2008:
As our impecuniousness had remained unaltered and unfaltering for the last two years,
we have decided we must convert GobQ into a free, online-only magazine. We will
refund the correct proportion of current subscriptions.
We will honour our commitment to pay for previously accepted works. We will be unable to pay for new material.
If you wish to withdraw your submission because of the new payment rate,
you have our wholehearted understanding.
With all our apologies, GOBQ LLC
Please read the additional information below before submitting Word documents as attachments to: gobqsubmissions atyahoo dotcom.
GobQ Online will publish writing from around the world.
Works originally written in a foreign language will be published bilingually.
We feature Czech, Bosnian, Hungarian, Polish,
Croatian, Algerian, Cuban, French, Arabic, Mexican, & Argentine writing,
as well as British, Australian, New Zealand & American.
Simultaneous submissions are OK. Please include this info when you submit.
In certain circumstances we are interested in reprint rights. Query.
Guidelines for fiction are that it be short-short,
short, novella, or novel-excerpt. Genre fiction will be gladly considered
if it is of such a caliber as to make genre distinctions irrelevant. Most readers, when queried about genre fiction & about what they want to read, feel that way, too.
Guidelines for poems that conform to the envelope, stretch the envelope, or shred it completely to reveal something new.
Guidelines for reasoned rants, essays, journal or diary extract(s), memoirs, manifestos, credos, & open letters on any trend(s) or topics that enthuse &/or edify &/or alarm.
Our mission:
To honor the integrity of the author's vision & intention, & not
let editorial sensibilities be ruled by considerations of sexual or political
content, or by political correctness or cant in any guise.
For works in visual media, we are most definitely interested, but query 1st.
