    • Earnest treatment of irony
  • Satire
    • Frivolous

Web content

  • Tweetable poetry (under 140 characters, no line breaks)
  • Blog posts
  • Brief reviews of contemporary books, short stories, TV episodes. (These don’t have to be extremely current, anything in the last two or three years would be fair game.)
  • Lively commentary on classic fiction, poetry, film, music. Careful analysis and research is encouraged but should not be overtly exhibited in the finished product.
  • Responses to reviews and commentary elsewhere on the web
  • Anecdotes touching on Grub Street Grackle's themes

Does Grub Street Grackle pay contributors?

Yes, for printed matter we can pay a little, upon acceptance: somewhere between $20 and $50 for most contributions. For web content, the answer is “maybe.”
