  If we accept your piece, we’ll do a little dance of celebration, promote your piece once it’s published, and invite you to our online Writer’s Room for networking, calls for content, and more.

• Additional info

  We do NOT accept: satirical news formats (a la “Area Man” or “Brave! This Woman…” as you might see done well in The Onion/Reductress, etc.), non-fiction personal essays (even if they are witty, it needs to heighten out of reality in some way to be satire), poetry. We don’t run pieces where the target/joke “punches down”. If we don’t take your piece, the hardworking volunteer editors will always provide you with brief, constructive feedback. We may ask you to resubmit a rewrite, make a few minor punch-ups, or to send us another piece in the future. We aim to make minimal changes to your work, because we want you to feel great about having your name on it even after we’ve edited it.
