Cool New Journal: Artifice

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

ARTIFICE MAGAZINE announces an open call for submissions for its upcoming
Issue 1, to be published in January 2010.

Submissions will be accepted year-round at
http://www.artificemag.com/submissions. Artifice Magazine is looking for
previously-unpublished stories, prose works, and poems, pieces that are
(as the name implies) aware of their own artifice: pastiche, mash-ups,
cut-ups, experiments gone awry, sly metafiction with a heart, and whatever
other sorts of text machines you can imagine. We want things that will
make us:

a. laugh and clap our hands with joy and surprise
b. sob silently and clap our hands, with a different sort of joy and surprise

We do not believe that postmodernism need or ought be heartless. But
neither do we require that every story wear its heart on its sleeve.

More information about Artifice Magazine can be found at

to editors@artificemag.com.

Artifice Magazine is edited by James Tadd Adcox and Rebekah Silverman. You
