Guidlines
The Lost Poetry Club is an audible zine. We aim to create a kaleidoscope of voices and materials. Chosen work will be dramatized, but you are openly encouraged to contribute to our M.A.F.P. (mind-altering frequency protocol) with your own recordings and performances for a fully collaborative experience.
What to Submit:
-
Short Stories/Plays/Extracts: Up to 15 mins or 1800-3000 words.
-
Poetry/Flash Fiction: Up to 5 mins or 500 words.
-
Songs/Music/Other: Up to 10 mins.
Compensation:
-
Over 300 words: £0.015 per word.
-
Under 300 words: £5 flat rate.
Rights:
-
If previously unpublished, we claim first-world on-going non-exclusive rights (text and audio) with 120 days of exclusivity from publication. However, we do accept reprints.
-
Any audio adaptations produced belong to us solely.
-
Other formats like recordings and music are also on an on-going non-exclusive basis.
How to Submit:
-
Use the current theme as your email subject.
-
If the current theme doesn’t suit, please feel free to send in your work anyway, at any time, as it may be suitable for future themes. Title your subject: Theme Unknown.

If submitting written work: pdf file or Docx.
-
OR, if submitting recorded work: high-quality mp3/wav file (accompanied by a pdf transcript and the full cast and crew list, if applicable).
-
Simultaneous submissions are permitted (but don't overdo it, please).

Clarkesworld’s list of “Hard Sells” is a good guide for what not to submit. You can check those out here.
