Taking Submissions: Zathom
Deadline: January 26th, 2018 Payment: $10 This time around, we are asking for a wide range of work to celebrate the addition of Poetry and Musings to our ever-evolving platform. Furthermore, unlike our last call, all work will be submitted using the digital canvas that is Zathom.com. You will write your submission(s) on Zathom, so the platform will choose which Fathoms you use. Our goal in this call is to welcome poets, literary nonfiction writers, and philosophers, as well as to introduce Continuations (a feature we are quite excited about). Continuations: If you have not played with Continuations on Zathom yet, this feature gives you the option to either continue your 55 word text yourself or allow other writers to continue it from where you left off. In order to begin a Continuation, click on any one of the three Fathoms in a published piece, and Zathom will give you one more Fathom. In addition to this new Fathom, you must use the original Fathom you clicked on in your Continuation (which presents an added challenge of having to reuse a word without it sounding redundant).

Story is the way we relate to and interpret our life experience, and also the way we both inhabit and escape from the world around us. Within Zathom, we categorize a piece as Story if it is fiction and clearly includes conflict and/or cause and effect. The best Stories will evoke the deepest emotional truths. Much like a picture tells a thousand words, a well-crafted Story (even at 55 words) can capture entire universes.
