We love unpublished writers just as much as we love published writers (sometimes even more so). MMPP is more likely to publish work that is provocative and invigorating rather than overly complicated pieces of pomposity. Excite us with your garden-fresh flash and titillate us with your gutsy poems. Let us home your vigorous words and create art to accompany them. And after we marry your wise wordery, we’ll bring the lit to the great outdoors. Length of the work: our sweet spot is between 150 to 300 words. Anything over or under, we’ll be less psyched on. Poems? Let’s try to keep it under 25 lines, and no more than 3 poems per submission. We accept re-prints so long as you own the rights.
Welcome to Superfan! Our teeny tiny wrestling zine dedicated to the art of professional wrestling and poetry (and other stuff, too). Superfan is released twice a year with two very brief reading periods. Our zine is themed (just like Meow Meow Pow Pow); it's our small love letter to the intersection of wrestling and verse.
Length of the work: our sweet spot is between 150 to 250 words. Poems? Let’s try to keep it under 15 lines, bbz. No more than two poems per submission. If you are rejected, please wait until the next open window to submit. If you've been accepted by Meow Meow Pow Pow within the last year, please wait a year until you submit again (blog posts are excluded)
theme: Dear Easy Mac
We invite you to contribute to a zine we're calling DEAR EASY MAC, a tribute to the legend Easy Mac but also to create a space to write and share about disenfranchised grief, or, more broadly, grief that goes unacknowledged, which can make us feel embarrassed or isolated.
To submit, like in a 90s magazine, write us by writing to Easy Mac with the subject line/title "Dear Easy Mac", followed by what you want to share. A letter, a poem, a memory. Maybe about a pet you've lost, a relationship, a friend you miss. Your grief is valid and important.
The zine will be made up of all these entries, a chorus of Dear Easy Macs, handstitched and published by MMPPLit and Superfan Zine.
Open: Dec 16th - Dec 31st
Max word count: 200
