  1. Title
  2. Opening
  3. Abstract
    Detailed, yet concise is best.

Send complete articles or abstracts to submit@drylongso.com. Expect editing of submissions. If you cannot abide editing, please do not submit your writing.

Guest Editors

A guest editorship consists of a series of articles that address a particular topic or theme that has either been requested in the call for submissions or proposed by an individual. The minimum number of articles in a series is three, though some genres will have a higher minimum, poetry for instance. Complexity of the issue being addressed will also determine the number of articles and requested elements in a series.

Unlike a single article contributors, a guest editor will be responsible for obtaining illustrations, related links and a recommended reading list. All work will be original and not published previously. It is possible for individuals to collaborate, but only one individual will be contracted.
