We want to see articles about books, either the reading or the writing of them. We are looking for interviews (real or possibly, obviously fake), book reviews, critical analyses, blogs about public readings, meditations on a particular topic, open letters to writers dead or alive or anything else your hot, beautiful mind can come up with.

Please put Shelf Life Submission in the subject of the email and include a short third-person bio to contact@shelfllifemagazine.com

We are interested in quirky, funny, dark, innovative, sharp and haunting stories.  Points for following the Shelf Life theme.  Generally we don’t accept stories longer than 2,500 words, but try us.
