Dog Throat Journal (Subs Open)
@dogthroat.com
Dog Throat Journal, #flash #fiction and prose poetry from around the known globe. We look for odd time thought provoking works from the edges of artistic expression. https://dogthroat.com / @victordavid.com
At Dog Throat Journal, selections are not made by committee. It's just me, Victor David, who reads every piece that zips in through our submission portal.

If that sounds good, this is to let you know that Feb subs are open. #writing #flash #fiction #writingcommunity

Hey! Dog Throat Journal is now a member of CLMP. How about that? Thanks @clmporg.bsky.social for the rapid processing.

The turnout for the #flash #fiction #contest has been great. I'm reading in the morning and at night, too. Plus those walks with my supervisor in the afternoon. She approves.

Thanks everybody. #WritingCommunity

You know what's beautiful? Reading #stories for our #contest and regular subs, and finding those gems. It gives me a lot of pleasure.

Thank you all, and keep your work flowing our way. We're open for #fiction contest, fiction regular subs, and #prose #poetry until the end of July. #writingcommunity

We read subs blind and it's quite liberating. Send something our way and we'll see it without seeing, which sounds kind of whacked, but sure you know what I mean. #fiction #writingcommunity and #prose #poetry

Since social media

says you must have an image with a post or risk parading naked words without a permit, we offer

the following to let you know that subs are open. Plus, flash fiction contest! Details on the web site. Happy Wednesday.

Everything a go for the upcoming issue. Putting pieces together and getting the site updated. We go live April 1. No joke!

Discovered you can customize your Blue Sky handle to link it to your domain. Looks more professional they say. I guess it does. Thought it was kinda fun.

And these two (after they got a cookie) approved.

Editor @victordavid.com did it too. On a roll.
