Call for submissions (personal essays, criticism, etc.) | 25 cents per word

Deadline: 18 November 2024
Forty years ago, the pilot episode of Miami Vice aired for the first time. Beginning in 1980 -- after the Mariel Boatlift, Arthur McDuffie trial, and against the ongoing cocaine wars -- Miami became a place of international intrigue. In 1984, when Miami Vice became the most popular show in the world, it cemented our city's status as a global metropolis which would not be ignored. In this spirit, we seek work inspired by Miami Vice.
SOME EXAMPLES OF THINGS WE'D LIKE TO SEE:
Personal essays about a relative who played a bit part on the tv show, or who worked on the production side.
Criticism about a specific episode. For example, did the writers get their depictions of Vodou correct in Season 2's "The Tale of the Goat"?
Poems about go fast boats, carrera sunglasses, and members only jackets.
Short Fiction set on a Stiltsville house during a drug drop. Maybe Frank Zappa guest stars as a two-timing informant.
Illustrations and graphics depicting Miami in 1984 or of Sergeant Castillo's mustache.
SOME DETAILS:
For essays and criticism that require reporting and research we pay 25 cents/word up to 1500 words.
We pay $50/poem
We pay $100 for short stories
Our pay scale for visual art depends on the scope and labor required to execute it, and also how many pages of the print journal (each page lays out simply at 5.5" x 8.5" FYI) the work may occupy. Pay range is usually $100-$500
