Im co-ordinating a new creative writing zine and wanted to ask whether you would be interested submitting a short story. Called Pulp Fiction, will appeal to people who like music, as well as those who simply like short stories about people and life everybody then!

Ive shared the detail below, but do let me know if you need any more information!

Pulp Fiction Magazine

A couple of years ago, inspired by our love of music and words, we gathered together stories written by lots of talented people to curate the Stories from Songs project, a collection of short stories inspired by lyrics from songs, a zine of the stories, and an event where talented musicians performed covers of the songs and actors performed and read aloud.

To celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the release of Pulps Different Class we are asking people to do the same with some of Jarvis Cockers finest songs. Jarvis Cockers lyrical genius, acerbic wit and perceptive eye are one of the elements that enabled Pulp to connect so well back in the nineties, and continue to transcend the vagaries of time to communicate with individuals so acutely.

Songs may be a story about a character. The lyrics could be shrewd and perceptive observations that make a comment on life. Or they may be an interesting blend of words and phrases that trigger an emotional response in you. You may see a tale within the tune. Or one which goes beyond its final chords. You might want to explore what happens to the character once the song ends. Or take the title and spin your own fantasy from it.

So, get listening, get scribbling, send us your stories, and we will gather them all together in the Pulp Fiction Zine to publish later this year. Check out some inspiration and send us your stories at https://pulpfictionzine.wordpress.com/­

Deadline Nov 30th
