Submission Guidelines
Submissions for AGON Journal issue two are open.
Direct all submissions to agonjournal @ gmail . com
Submissions for AGON Editions are currently closed.
AGON seeks work unimpeded by form or by theme.
For those who suffer writing as an ailment / For those who savor writing as a remedy: we offer ourselves to suffer at your side.
We accept simultaneous submissions - please let us know if your submission is accepted elsewhere.
No cover letters needed, only a third-person bio.
LITERATURE
Works of 500-5,000 words. One piece per submission for longer works. Two-four shorter works (e.g. 500-1000 words or thereabouts) are permitted.
Authors we enjoy: Goytisolo, Lispector, Guyotat, Artaud, Genet, Bataille, Lautréamont, Zürn.
POETRY
Submit up to five poems within the same document.
We like poetry from: Breton, Verlaine, Rilke, Cocteau, Césaire, Plath, Baudelaire, Rimbaud and Celan.
NON-FICTION & THEORY
Essays, literary criticism or analysis, art history/theory, etc. of 1,000-8,000 words.
Not sure a piece might suit us? Send a submission instead of a query and we'll see.
ART
Submit up to five works of visual art attached to the email as a .gif, .tiff, .jpeg, .jpg, .png, or .pdf file with accompanying titles.
Painting, drawing, sculpture, collages, and photography are all welcome.
NOTE: Print issues will be printed in black and white. Any color submissions will only appear as such only in the digital edition.
DREAMS
Accounts of dreams around 500-1000 words. Multiple dreams may be submitted, by name or anonymously.
Those submitting to other categories may still feel free to make a separate/accompanying dream submission.
Similarly, those making no other type of submission may still send in dream submissions.
We are seeking a raw account of dream images and sensations. Please do not over-dramatize or -aestheticize your dreams.
With these, we don't want the writer, we don't want their pretense: we seek the senseless idiocy of their actual dream(s).
Neither will special favor be granted to fiction/poetry/art/theory submissions that involve or address dreams.
NOTE: Names appearing in the Dream Journal section will not appear individually listed in the issue's contents.
Participants will be credited within the section itself—check Issue 0 for reference.
