Places to submit

3Elements Review seeks submissions using three specific elements . . .

3Elements Review was founded to spark imagination, to provide a unique creative challenge, and to allow writers and artists a bit of fun with our three element prompts.

We aim to distinguish ourselves from the typical literary journal through our unique approach to the creative process. Each issue begins with the posting of three elements and ends with a journal filled with the imaginative ways in which each writer and artist transformed those elements. We provide both emerging and established writers and artists a platform to share their unique voices and visions with the world.

CURRENT THREE ELEMENTS: Carnival, Residue, Maudlin

Submissions due by June 1, 2014, September 1, December 1 and March 1

Brief Submission Guidelines for 3Elements Review:

We appreciate good writing in any genre. We especially like edgy writing that offers insight into darkness. We prefer character-driven stories as opposed to plot-driven ones.  We relish a piece with a great deal of heart and more than a little bit of Truth (note the capital “T”).

We want to read a story that makes us feel edified or philosophical or amused or creeped out or angry or melancholy or inspired or, best yet, all of these things together. We want to read a story we simply can’t put down.

 3Elements Review is a themed literary journal, hence the three elements, and All THREE elements  given for the submission period must be included in your story or poem for your work to be considered for publication in 3Elements Review;  NO EXCEPTIONS WHATSOEVER.

You can craft any story or poem that you would like, but keep in mind, the three given elements for the submission period become part of your story or poem and it is up to you, the writer, to expand upon those elements and breathe life into your piece. Please keep in mind, your story or poem doesn’t have to be about the three elements or even revolve around them; your story or poem can be about whatever you choose it to be.

eArtwork and photography: If you decide to submit any artwork and/or photography, we only require that you capture or depict the essence of one element, however, creating something that represents all three elements will really impress us. In addition, when you submit artwork or photography, please describe your process and tell us what medium you used. Also, please give a brief explanation as to how you feel your artwork or photography represents the element(s), as this will accompany your piece should we choose to publish it.
