How To Contribute To Kill Pretty

So you’ve been reading Kill Pretty for years. You spend all your hard earned cash on the print issue and you’re not really sure what the publishing schedule for the online version is but you know you like it, or at the very least you tolerate its existence. But isn’t there something missing from Kill Pretty? Aside from a more regular schedule and, I don’t know, more nudity. It’s you dum-dum! Do you write personal essays that your mom would disown you if she read them? Do you illustrate weird cartoons that would get you interred in Shutter Island? A third thing that’s also weird and fits in the format of a website? Then send it over!

Reported stories/essays, personal essays, and one panel cartoons are the types of things we like to read and consider for publication on the web, at the moment we’re not looking for print issue submissions but the best way to end up in the magazine is to write something for the web. Send over whatever crazy thing you have to sup@killprettymagazine.com

If you want credit for your piece then your submission have this at the bottom: 

Wow this thing totally happened! [Title of Piece]

By Gary L. Meredith [Author’s Name]

garysemail@internet.com [Author’s email]

@garylmeredith [social media handle if you have one]

If you don’t want your name or social media handle in your byline just let us know. The subject line of your email should be a variation of your title rather than something like “HEY READ THIS” or “FREE SHIPPING ON BLUE CHEW.”

Paste your entire document into the email rather than sending a link, we won’t click it and we won’t download attachments. Submit one thing at a time. You can send something else literally the moment we get back to you. Unless we’re like, “Hey don’t send us anything else because the thing you wrote is so good that we’re going to burn down the internet.”

We tend to publish pieces that are between 500 and 750 words, with a hard cap at 1,000. If your piece runs longer than 1,000 words we’ll send you a Venmo request for $10.

At the moment we can’t pay you but we’re working on it. If you’re exceptionally cool then we'll reach out and figure out some form of compensation. Response time is something like 10 days at the moment. Our editorial staff is exhausted/there was just a party/we lost the password to the email.
