Wag’s Revue Summer 2013 Contest  

The Summer 2013 Contest is currently open. We hold two contests annually, the Winter Writers Contest from December first through the end of February and the Summer one, from June 1 to August 31. The contests are open to all three genres and are judged by the editors. For each, first prize is $1000 and guaranteed publication in the magazine, second prize is $500 and third $100. All pieces are considered for publication. There is a $20 reading fee per contest submission, plus Submittable’s fee. 

Open reading periods are held from the beginning of March through May and from the beginning of September through end of November. Submissions will reopen, in other words, September 1. 

We only accept submissions via our Submittable page. Please click there to find all guidelines and to upload your submission. While we allow for simultaneous submissions, if your work is accepted elsewhere, please withdraw the piece on Submittable, rather than emailing us about it. If you are at all concerned about the status of your submission, feel free to write us, though we appreciate your patience if it takes us several months to respond to you about your piece—we are a small, mostly unpaid staff. 
 

Wag’s Revue compensates its writers $100 per piece (interview, poem or group of poems, essay, or short story). 

If you’re interested in interviewing a writer, comedian or some other some such waggish luminary for an upcoming an issue, send an email introducing yourself, the figure in question, why you want to interview him or her, and whether you have access to said person already, to sandra@wagsrevue.com.
 

If you’re a visual artist interested in being considered for the Featured Artist title, visit the Submittable link and enter your work in the Visual  Artist category.
