Site guidelines
We are a publication that runs on two premises - that we’ll publish our site and in a PDF download (which will also be offered as a limited edition print publication every four months, and via CD download).
Not everything that appears on our site will be offered as a download - and vice versa, not everything in the PDF, and more importantly, the four times yearly limited edition downloads will be published on the site.
Submitting your work
Please DO NOT submit from an AOL address if you can, at all help it. Hotmail is also not recommended, as they have unusually strict spam filters. We recommend Gmail.
Work can be submitted either to the Editor of your choice (as long as they accept the genre/type in question) or to our catch all addresses (fiction@ , nonfiction@ , poetry@ , obscure@ ). Our editors will then get back to you when they pick up your submission.
All initial submissions SHOULD be acknowledged within one week of submissions - if you haven’t heard from us within 2 weeks, then feel free to drop me a line at editor@digitalisobscura.com.
We will accept - or reject - your submission within six weeks. We will then email you, and post on our ‘upcoming’ titles page two weeks thereafter, if you do not withdraw your work (so if you haven’t heard from us, you can always check that page eight weeks after submitting, just in case it IS your email, or ours ;))
Payment
We pay honorariums of $5 - $15 (dependant on the submission) around 30 - 60 days after acceptance. These are honorariums, and will be revisited when we can.
Our print editions
Our print editions will be made up of the very best of our submissions - some appearing online, some exclusive to our print projects, and will be issued roughly four times a year from around our sixth month anniversary of publication. We don’t know, as yet, whether these will be anthologies, or magazine style publications - it will be announced closer to the time.
Payment from print editions
We will offer anyone that appears our print edition a share of all sales, after printing, split equally between submitters. All authors in the print edition will also receive one copy of the book they appear in. We’ll contact anyone with an additional contract in these cases.

R–U–OK?
Yeah–Yeah
I txt back
before adding another dozen lines to my
essay. There’s a scrap of paper beside me
I’m scrawling lines of a poem that are singing
to me, from the cheap seats, insidious, in my head.
As an afterthought, I realize, I need to tell him something else.
So, I send another
I–haven’t–slept–4–days
Frenzied, exhilarated, deeply awkward.
I’m falling. [...]
Desire and Madness – a collected anthology from Gloucestershire University’s creative writing students.
Desire and Madness is a simple enough premise – and as themes go, its pretty well represented throughout the works of a diverse range of students. Eighteen separate, and sometimes disparate, yet compelling voices that cover prose, poetry, and one rather interestingly [...]
night slams down a sky
as lid on this sinful kettle,
burning us here
in this hell we live in
seething in our own stink,
this sweaty nothingness
we live in
sin

You know, no matter how often I install Wordpress, the ‘hello world’ post always makes it ok.

Ok guys and gals - got a question for you.
You’ve got seven sentences to set the scene before your editor’s eyes glaze over and roll back in his head. He’s looking for the next big thing.
What would you write?
