Have you ever eaten cold waffle fries in your underwear at like, 2am? No? Well, you should.

Leftovers you’ve convinced yourself you’ll heat up later and eat but then just eat them by the light of the fridge – though it’s unclear why you’re in your underwear. It’s a wonderfully strange experience and that’s kind of what we’re aiming for. A wonderfully strange experience but in words and art.

Got a piece that doesn’t quite fit elsewhere? We want to read it. Experimenting with format or style? Love it; send it our way. We want your abandoned words, your collection of phrases tucked away in your Notes app, that strangely-written but oddly elegant poem that doesn’t play well with others. We’re looking for hybrids, lyrics, prose, poetry; whatever you’ve got, we’ll read (within reason).

Issue #1

longing [ˈlôNGiNG]
noun
a yearning desire

Waffle Fried is currently accepting unpublished creative non-fiction, poetry, short fiction, journalism, and visual art that explores the theme of longing – whether it be for something or someone once had or never found, the tale of the one who got away, or even an overwhelming craving (for waffle fries, perhaps?). However you interpret the theme is what we’d like to see, so long as it obviously fits.

Published authors and artists will receive a print copy of Issue #1, which may or may not be available for purchase.

Submissions can only be sent via Duosuma. Any submission sent by email will be deleted without being read.

Word count limit for fiction and creative non-fiction is 2,000 words. 

Poetry line limit is 30.
