I received my first rejection today. Could have been worse?

Bing Guff Literary Magazine is accepting submissions for The Mostly Invented Memoir of Bing Guff: Volume 1.

Background
When we decided to study a completely unremarkable man named Bing Guff, we thought persistent digging would uncover salacious details and juicy tidbits. We were wrong.

To convince our shareholders that Bing Guff is a subject worth studying, we’re looking for prose and poetry that includes Bing Guff in any capacity, creating an invented history of a man who’s all too real. He can be the main character or he can make a cameo appearance—how much he’s involved in your work is up to you.

Deadline
December 1st, 2026

Guidelines
