1. Email submissions to voidspacezine@gmail.com
Content
2. Most importantly: work must be interactive. We are looking for work the reader can interact with or influence in some way
For example, the work may be non-linear, or the reader may be able to explore, make decisions about or within, or choose the outcome of the work
The trophy cabinet includes some examples of interactive work but we are open to other ideas too
Guidance for making interactive text with twine can be found on our resources page, but your work does not have to be in Twine to be accepted
3. We will consider all types of work: games, fiction, non-fiction, poetry, visual art, audio, anything else you can think of – as long as it’s interactive
Format
5. Send us your work in your preferred format / document type – if we have trouble with it we will let you know and try to find a solution
6. We will also accept submissions written in the body of your email
