The inimitable Dodo Eraser seeks your poetry, fiction, and CNF in order to ensure its survival. You may feed the dodo your literature by emailing dodoerasermag@gmail.com.

Poetry:

Please send 1-5 unpublished poems in an attached Word doc. Title your poems clearly. Otherwise, the dodo does not care about fonts or spacing or whatnot. You do not need to write a cover letter for the dodo, but you can. Free country. No line limits. You must simply move the dodo. If the dodo is moved, the dodo will give you a dodo. It will look like this:

🦤

The dodo may also say nice things about your poems, and the dodo will give you $5 for every poem it likes enough to publish. The dodo will request a bio and First North American Serial Rights upon acceptance. If the dodo does not accept any of your poems, please wait one (1) month before feeding the dodo again. If it does, please wait six (6) months. The dodo will reveal its intentions within one (1) month, usually sooner.

Fiction/CNF:

Most of the above also applies for fiction and CNF. HOWEVER: DO NOT SEND THE DODO 5 FICTIONS OR CNFS! THAT’S TOO MUCH!

Please send 1 fiction or CNF piece. Please keep your piece under 10,000 words. All other poetry guidelines apply. If all prose pieces are under 400 words, you may submit up to 3, rather than just 1.

Essays/Criticism/Features:

While not the dodo’s primary focus, the dodo is open-minded. Essays, criticism, and features relating to the arts (particularly books, film, music, and video games) are of interest. Essays should be submitted complete for consideration, while reviews and features should instead include a brief 3-4 sentence pitch, after which you will be given a deadline to complete your work if accepted. Include links to past work if you have any. If you don’t have any, this is okay. If the pitch is especially good, the dodo will work with you.

Does Dodo Eraser nominate for awards?

Yes. Dodo Eraser plans to nominate for the Pushcart Prize, Best of the Net, Best Small Fictions, and Best Microfictions.
