A wonderful FAQ on submitting your work to LostBrain.com
- How do I submit my work to LostBrain.com?
Send it in an e-mail to LostBrain@LostBrain.com,
attn: submissions. Send it as part of an e-mail, please do not
send it as an attachment. Our staff will read your manuscript
and decide whether or not to publish it. We will (god willing)
respond to you within two weeks of your submission. If it takes
longer, we apologize far ahead of time (our editors work long
hours in a Nike factory, so we many not have much time to read
submissions during busy holiday hours).
- Do writers get paid for submitting their work?
Unfortunately, no. We're working on making this a profitable
website (T-Shirts and condoms with the LostBrain logo are due
in stores early next year!), but for now, you'll have the pleasure
of seeing your work on the internet site that Newsweek will
one day say, "Lostbrain broke the mold and swept it underneath
their parents rug." (thanks to Astrologer Harry S. Lime
for foreseeing that wonderful moment for us.)
- What kind of submissions is LostBrain looking for?
As does Oprah's weight, it varies (sorry about the easy Oprah
joke). In general, we're looking for work that is creative,
original and edgy. We're looking for humor, columns, politics,
cartoons, parody, satire, brain teezers, serious-news articles,
prose, poetry and expose's on the real Bob Vila. You know, the
one that WANTS TO BE A WOMAN.
- Will you publish just about anything sent to LostBrain?
If we were drunken frat boys out prowling for a good time, then
the answer would be an unequivocal "Yes!" But, we
never made it past pledging, and therefore we are bitter nerds
looking to put a kibosh on poorly written articles that we don't
think are appropriate for our site. If we do not like your piece,
we will try and give you an explanation of what we dislike about
it (if you insult Nancy Sinatra, that's a strike against you,
for example.) We're open minded, though. If your piece is controversial
or challenging, we welcome it.
- Can writers submit an idea to LostBrain before they write
it and see what you think?
Of course. However, if we say we like the idea, that does not
necessarily mean we will publish the article. We always, at
any time, reserve the right not publish.
- Did Lostbrain poison the water reservoir?
We're taking the 5th.
- Have you seen my keys?
No. I've looked all over but still haven't found them. Have
you tried looking underneath the couch?
- I think I've run out of questions. Oh wait, if I have
questions, who should I contact?
Write to Brandon@LostBrain.com
or Travis@LostBrain.com.
