Each Monday, Storychord.com will feature one story, one image, and one song— each by a different underexposed, talented up-and-comer. All issues are thoughtfully curated by Sarah Lynn Knowles (SARAHSPY, The Furnace Review).

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

To submit work, please carefully follow all guidelines below. Submissions are held in consideration for up to 6 months. Please note, you will hear back only if your work has been selected for publication. 

Writers may submit short fiction (3,500 words maximum) either in the body of an email or as an .rtf attachment to storychord@yahoo.com. Be sure to send a short bio, including any recent or upcoming publication credits and your website link.

Photographers & other visual artists may submit links to 1-3 images (no attachments, please) to storychord@yahoo.com. Be sure to send a short bio, including any recent or upcoming gallery/publication credits and your website link.

Bands/labels may submit songs (1-2 songs per artist) via our Soundcloud dropbox. Be sure to include a short bio specifying the artist’s location, label (if unsigned, say so), album title/release date, and website.

This is a cool idea. I often wonder why media in the 21st century is limited to mainstream “movies”, “music”, and “books” — what The Machine wants us to consume. There are so many talented writers, photographers, musicians, film-makers out there… since when did the scale of a release become the measure of good art?

I’m working on a short story which I may submit, but if not, I look forward to seeing what other people come up with.
