Purpose and Submissions Information

        The goal of this blog is to create a space for readers and writers to build a community around types of literature that are under-represented. For the time being, this site will focus on absurd, surreal, and speculative fiction. Mass-produced fiction often leaves behind very talented writers because there isn't as much demand for their work (as they aren't producing mass-market fiction).
        I hope to allow for a space that directly connects readers and writers, as well as a space for authors to share their work for a small fee to the reader, or even for free. Included on this blog is information about self-publishing and self-e-publishing.
        I am currently accepting surreal, absurd, and speculative fiction, of any length. I will read the pieces and write up reviews as time allows. I will also post reviews of already published works to give examples of the type of review I will be giving the pieces sent to me. The idea of the review is not to tear apart your work, but to give readers an idea of what the piece is like and whether or not it would be something they would have interest in reading. However, constructive critique will be available for the author if they so desire.

To submit your work, please email: literatureconnection (at) gmail (dot) com
Please enter your piece into the main body in the text. If your work is available for download or purchase, please include a link to your work to be put on the post with your review.

If you have concerns about the content of any piece I review, please feel free to email me and I will answer your questions to the best of my ability.
