Each issue of the magazine focuses on a single, undesirable characteristic, exploring such issues as: who is affected by it, its impact on individuals, in which circumstance it can be especially bad (or actually good), and any other aspect of the flaw that that may be worth investigating.

We seek previously unpublished prose, poetry, art, and photograph that incorporate these characteristics in funny or sobering ways. Ultimately Fawlt hopes to offer an entertaining look at human frailty and a serious consideration of some of our more unpleasant traits. Please do not send more than three prose pieces or five poems at a time.

We’re now actively taking submissions for our next issue

Arrogance

Issue will be launched online January 15, 2009.

We’re also considering submissions for our last issue:

~ Apathy ~

However, as we are planning to release the last issue in a later quarter, our response to submissions in those categories might be slightly long in coming.

While we have no problem with simultaneous submissions, please notify us immediately if your submitted work is published elsewhere.

GUIDELINES

DEADLINE: For Arrogance: November 30, 2008. For Apathy: rolling submissions.

EMAIL: Please send to submissions to editor@fawltmag.com. Please indicate, in the subject line, which flaw your work addresses.

Please note that if you wish to submit work to two different issues (apathy and arrogance for instance) you need to send us two separate emails: one for your apathy submissions and one for your arrogance submissions. As previously stated, don’t forget to indicate which flaw your work addresses in the subject line of your email.

ATTACH: A cover letter.

IMAGES: May be sent via email as JPG or TIF files.

PAYMENT: While we’re working on acquiring the funds necessary to pay our contributors, as of now, we can’t offer any of that precious, precious lucre. Sorry.

We look forward to reading and viewing your work. Thank you for submitting to Fawlt Magazine.
