ABOUT THE PARAMANU PENTAQUARK

The Paramanu Pentaquark was founded in 2008 as a project of the Gothic Funk Nation, a Chicago-based arts collective. Conceiving the journal as a multi-media compilation of “gothic funk” art, literature, music, and more, the Nation published three issues in 2009 and 2010, featuring dozens of artists from around the world. The magazine ceased production when the Nation went on hiatus in 2011. It has been resurrected in Michigan by the Gothic Funk Press and has since published four more issues.  The eighth issue of The Paramanu Pentaquark will be published in 2025.

Submission Guidelines

Submissions will remain open until Gothic Funk Press has accepted all work to be published in Issue #8.

Please submit work created in a “Gothic Funk” style: experimental work featuring degrees of romanticism, darkness, depth, and swagger. You may browse archived issues of The Paramanu Pentaquar, as well as our websites at http://gothicfunkpress.com and http://gothicfunk.org to learn more about this mode and aesthetic.

Submissions are accepted in the categories of Images, Sounds, and Words, and may include costume, collage, craft,  creative nonfiction, fiction, folk art, pictures, photos, poetry, and more. If we are able to share the work in our digital format we will consider it.

Multiple submissions are permitted; please submit up to six Images, fifteen minutes of Sounds, and/or 5,000 Words.

Simultaenous submissions are permitted; please notify Gothic Funk Press (connor@gothicfunkpress.com) if you have accepted an offer of publication elsewhere.

The editors review and respond to all submissions. Please do not contact us to receive a decision less than four months after your submission date.

Occasionally, editors will extend an offer of publication with an offer to edit/revise your submission. This is optional and publication is not contingent upon accepting this offer.

You should receive an email confirmation after submitting your work via the form on this page.

All inquiries should be directed to Connor Coyne at connor@gothicfunkpress.com.
