The editors at errant parent seek well-written, original, parenting-oriented humor. We are partial to anything offbeat, gritty, sardonic, and clever -- more so than the cutesy and anecdotal. Above all else, the writing we publish must tickle the funny bone. We are open to essays, poetry, parodies, fake news clips, top nine lists, and more. We do not accept photography, art, or videos. For our "confession" section, please keep your submission brief, and let us know what name and town you'd like to include; it CAN be fake!
Please, no attachments! Please, no smart quotes. Please, no double spacing between sentences. ARGH! Paste your submission text into the body of your email and include your name, contact information, and a brief bio. Submissions must be under 2,000 words. Send to: submit@errantparent.com.
We pay $25 (when we can; our tiny budget goes fast) per accepted submission upon publication. If we can't pay, we'll send you a bumper sticker. FANCY!
Also, check in often to see what seasonal contests we're running!
