JUNE 2020 SUBMISSIONS + FEEDBACK WITH DONATION
/Dear friends:
We here at CHEAP POP are outraged by the recent murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, and Ahmaud Arbery. To show our support for the protests happening across the nation, we want to offer feedback with a donation during the June 2020 submissions period.
How it works:
While submissions are open for the month of June, you have the option of
(1) a regular submission (per guidelines on our submissions page), or
(2) you can submit + SHOW PROOF OF A DONATION + receive feedback on your piece.
If you choose Option 2, you may show proof to one of the charities listed below in any amount (or, a like-minded charity not listed will work, too) via a screenshot of the receipt or email confirmation, included along with your submission.
With proof of donation, we will provide feedback in the event your piece is not accepted for publication.
In 2018 we offered the option of feedback with a donation and raised over $300 for the Human Rights Campaign, RAICES, and American Forests.
This time around, we suggest donating to the following charities:
BLACK LIVES MATTER (Consider donating to your local chapter)
We all feel very strongly about these charities, and as the saying goes: Any amount helps at all.
Please note: We will not respond (accept/reject) pieces until after a submissions period is closed. You are free to query us, but our method is to read every piece we get, even ones submitted at 11:59 PM on the last day. It's important to us that every piece gets the same care and attention. This also means we generally need a small buffer of time after submissions close to read and gauge pieces. You can expect to hear back starting mid-July.
We’re excited to read your work, and thank you in advance for your support. For additional info, click here!
