Three Days

By now I’m fairly certain that some of you have grown tired of hearing this. But rather than spend this week talking about a genre that I know very little about (since we've already covered my top four), I’d like to take this time to talk about something which means a great deal to me. And if you’ve been reading Too Many Books to Count for any significant amount of time, then it’s probably something you’ve heard before.

As of today, there are three days left to submit your work for publication in Mavguard Magazine.

I’m not sure why, but I’ve noticed that a lot of creatives need to be constantly reminded of deadlines. I don’t know if it’s because we’re a little chicken of getting rejection letters, if we’re too busy to pay attention to what’s going on around us, or if we’ve given up entirely on the notion of publication. But either way, I’m not having it.

Mavguard wants to publish you.

We really do.

No matter your age, your background, your style of art or writing.

We want to publish you.

But we can’t do that unless you send something in. You’re inhibiting yourself by not submitting, by staying on the sidelines and neglecting to do your part.

What’s the point in art if you keep it locked in a closet and never allow anyone to see it?

The whole point of art is to be seen an enjoyed. For writers, that means letting someone else read what you’ve written. For artists, it means showing someone what you’ve created. For all of us, it means sending stuff in for publication.

And I know it can be scary. I know rejection letters are harsh and hard to take. I even know that publishers are incredibly intimidating. I work for one. Of course I know.

But I also know that Mavguard is different.

Our goal is to publish people.

We don’t care if you’ve been published before. We don’t care if you’re nine or ninety-nine. All we look at is your work, with the goal of publication. And we’ve published ninety some percent of all our submitters. Those are pretty high returns, if you ask me.

Want to get published?

Then it’s time to send something in.

Submissions window closes midnight, June 30.
