Additional info

Due to the high volume of submissions, please understand that you may not receive a reply. Satires often play with genre-bending. So it’s always important to establish the “genre” of the satire, even if to subvert it. News satires should read like a news article, unless it is purporting to be another type of article, such as an op-ed, an essay, a review, etc. Topical satirical news is very popular now, but generally has a short shelf-life. It’s worthwhile to aim for more timeless satire, difficult as it is.
