Mission Statement

Ignavia is an online journal that promotes fiction that is transgressive in content and form with a bias for material that is dark, edgy and queer.

Guidelines

Ignavia seeks transgressive fiction for future biannual issues. We need work that challenges us intellectually, morally and aesthetically. We need work that is dark and edgy. We need work that can arouse us while making us choke on our own bile.

General Rules

1. Keep submissions under 4000 words.
2. Send submissions in the body of an email. Also include name, mailing address, telephone number and a 50 word or less biography.
3. Although we prefer work with a queer focus, quality supersedes this bias.
4. We request Electronic Serial Rights so that we may maintain your work in our archives. We cannot offer compensation.
5. No poetry, unless it is prose poetry, which is more prose than poetry.
6. Familiarize yourself with our current issue and the work of authors on our reading list.
7. E-mail submissions to ignaviapress(at)gmail.com. Remember to replace (at) with @.
8. No previously published work.
