What We Want
The Truth Magazine seeks writers and writing that convey thoughts
which stray from the norm. We want new and different ideas. Great
writers have gotten where they are by saying what wasn't said at their
particular time. Having explained that here our the guidelines:
Fiction: Fiction 500-5,000 words. Fiction should compliment our
ongoing theme of originality. We want pieces that stand out and
writers with something to say. Read our current fiction for examples.
Poetry: We avoid fluffy, heart warming poetry unless it is outstanding
(which is rare). We also avoid "sigh sigh death is near" poetry unless
it is outstanding. What we look for is insightful, creative,
unconventional poetry which hasn't been done six thousand times.
Movie Reviews: Generally we look for underground or alternative
movies. We look for one popular movie a month, all others reviews
should be on uncommon films. We want reviews with zazz. We want
your opinion on the film and one scene that really stands out and why.
No longer than 1,000 words. See the list
Book Reviews: For the most part we avoid best sellers, but are open
to anything of merit. We strongly seek out books from small presses,
overlooked classics, and any book written well. No longer than 1,000
words. Also see our book list for reviews we'd like to see: list
The Scene: Live performance critique, cd review, or interview. Any
music that is upcoming irregardless of style. We encourage
submissions of bands (not your brother's garage band that got
together last week) that may not be noticed by the public yet. See our
scene section for examples. No more than 1,000 words. See the list
Opinion: Your opinion on something somewhat interesting to the
public however disturbing it may be. Our main requirement is that you
be original, avoid trendy subjects and overdone ones. 1,000 words or
less.
How to Send it
The Truth Magazine accepts previously unpublished articles via
electronic submissions. We will not accept published work except in
very rare cases, and yours wont be one of them. Please type the
name of your piece in the subject of the email. If you do not we will
delete it without opening it. It would also be refreshing if you sent us a
query to go along with your writing. A few lines about you or just a
hello. Send the piece as a word attachment or in the body of the
email. Allow us thirty days to review your work before sending another
inquiry. When we say thirty days, we mean thirty days. It is not
necessary to ask us every day whether or not it was received. Ask in
thirty days. All submissions can be sent to
submissions@thetruthmagazine.com
What We Pay
The Truth Magazine acquires one time rights for electronic
publication. All other rights are reserved by the author. Work can be
altered by The Truth Magazine as necessary, mainly for purposes of
space and grammar. All writers work on a voluntary basis until further
notice. Believe us, when money is earned, it will gladly be turned over
to the writers. Until then consider it an opportunity for exposure to the
public and the chance to work on building a great magazine. We put a
lot of work into this magazine and are shelling out our own money, so
if your piece more aptly belongs in a better magazine than this, well
put it there. The Truth Magazine does promote any writers it accepts
for publication to the best of our abilities.
Our Rant
Believe it or not, we consider ourselves to be a professional magazine.
This means that we do want professional writers. That doesn't
necessarily mean experienced, but it does mean common sense.
Submit yourself, query, make sure the work is polished,refrain from
making unreasonable requests and allow us some time to look it over.
Relax. You will not earn friends by failing to do these things.
Thanks,
Eds
