'Pleiades' Seeks Flash & Fiction for Veterans-Only Issue

Editors at Pleiades, a twice-annual print magazine based at the University of Central Missouri, Warrensburg, Mo., have issued a special call for flash-fiction and fiction written by military veterans. A veterans-only issue will be published June 2016. Deadline for submissions is Oct. 15, 2015.

Poetry and non-fiction are not solicited for this issue.

Attached as either .DOC or .PDF formats, send up to 5,000 words of original and previously unpublished work to project editor Seth Brady Tucker, along with cover letter and biography: sbradytucker AT gmail.com

Tucker is himself a Desert Storm-era veteran of the U.S. Army.

Simultaneous submissions are accepted. Notices of acceptance or rejection will be sent by late November. If accepted, editors will ask for brief essay (under 500 words) describing how being a veteran affects your aesthetic and writing.
