online journal seeks submissions: The Somnambulist

The Somnambulist is looking for fiction, creative non-fiction, essays,
and poetry.

The Somnambulist editors have been obsessed with Joy Division and Larry
Brown lately, so we’re thinking Post Punk mixed with Southern Grit, or
simply good writing.

Stories over 15 pages probably won’t work for us.
At this point, The Somnambulist is web based, but a print edition is
hopefully in the future.

Send work to: lexsonne(at)yahoo.com

(replace (at) with @)

Best,
Lex Sonne, Editor, Somnambulist
