"ZYZZYVA" Is Accepting Submissions Now!

Zyzzyva (ziz-uh-vuh) is not only the last word in the dictionary ("any of various South American weevils of the genus zyzzvya, often destructive to plants"); it is also the name of a literary magazine that appears in March, August, and November.
They publish a wide range of fiction, poetry, and essays (no interviews, reviews or criticisms), and accept submissions only from writers who live on the West Coast: CA, OR, WA, AK, HI. They also pay $50 on acceptance for first North American serial rights.
Submissions are accepted by snail mail only, and they ask that you not send anything via certified or registered mail. Send your work to: Editor, P.O. Box 590069, San Francisco, CA, 94159-0069. You may submit material of any length, and as many manuscripts as you like. "Take your best shot," and why not? It's free! Please go to their website to check out the rest of their submission guidelines.
