CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
*

Bound Off wants to read your best short stories out loud!

We are seeking original literary fiction for our upcoming podcasts. Please send stories that are between 250 and 2500 words long.
Although we are an audio publication, we will evaluate manuscripts the old-fashioned way.

Our team of readers and podcast engineers will produce the audio version of your story. If you have the capability to create a high-quality MP3 file, then we could publish your story with you as the reader.
(Although we aim to give authors the chance to read their own work, audio quality is a high priority, so the Bound Off editors reserve the right to make all final audio production decisions.)

We are not considering the following types of writing: non-fiction or personal essays, poetry, stories for children.

By Burt Goldman

To be creative is to cause something new to come into existence. Boredom and creativity cannot live in the same house. They cancel one another. One of the first things you will see happening is a new appetite for the day. A new appetite for living. And with this appetite will come satisfaction .

So how do you begin your life of renewed creativity? Here are some tips.
