Dear Friends, Are you interested in being published by Akashic Books? Askazsi Publishers is accepting submissions for two online flash fiction series: THURSDAZE The Marijuana Chronicles Thursdaze features original flash fiction modeled after our Drug Chronicles Series. Each story is an original one, and each encapsulates the author's fictional experience with drugs. Our print series has anthologized authors writing about marijuana, cocaine, speed, and heroin, but contributors to the web series can focus on any drug, real or imagined, controlled or prescribed, illegal or soon-to-be legalized. Submissions to Thursdaze will be judged on an author's ability to stylistically emulate his or her substance of choice. Submissions are also limited to 750 words, so try to focus. (They have a pill for that.) To submit for consideration to Thursdaze: —Your submission should never have been published elsewhere. —Your story should feature a drug, any drug, and your character's experience with it. We'll consider everything from caffeine to peyote, and look forward to stories ranging from casual use to addiction to recovery. Stylistically, we'll respond most favorable to stories that capture the mood and rhythm of your drug of choice. —Include your drug of choice next to your byline. —Your story should not exceed 750 words. —E-mail your submission to info@akashicbooks.com, and include THURSDAZE in the subject line. Please paste the story into the body of the email, and also attach it as a PDF file.
