SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

NERVE COWBOY is always looking for the kind of writers who just seem to know what word comes next.  We also like to feature drawings and illustrations by artists who see things a little differently.

To submit, send poetry, short fiction (up to five pages), black & white art,  or reviews of live music shows along with a self-addressed stamped envelope to Nerve Cowboy.  Make sure your name and address are on each piece submitted.  If a music review is accepted for publication we will ask for photos to be sent electronically if available.

We do not accept submissions through e-mail.

Previously published work is OK to send if you tell us where it has appeared, so we can properly acknowledge those good folks. Please no simultaneous submissions.

Pays one copy upon publication.

IMPORTANT! If you're new to Nerve Cowboy (and that's great), we strongly encourage you to get a copy first to see what we're up to.
​(For example, our name notwithstanding, we're not a cowboy-themed magazine.) An easy way to do this is to order a sample copy, either from our online store or by sending a check for $8 made out to Nerve Cowboy to the address above.
