WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

To M10K, creativity is the most important criteria for submission approval. Our real lives are tedious enough as it is. M10K is the escape valve for our creative juices. Be careful lest you get some on ya.

We are seeking content that will keep us reading or watching or listening. We invite you to offend us, delight us, terrify us, challenge us, inform us. But please, please, PLEASE do not bore us!

If you feel you are up to the task, please send the fruits of your labors to the appropriate M10K editor with a return address (well, email address anyway), an email address you’d like to get feedback sent to (if different from the return email address), and a few sentence bio of your inner monkey. When sending your content, please be sure to follow our Submissions Guidelines.

Take a million monkeys, put ‘em at a million typewriters, give ‘em a million years, and supposedly you end up with “War and Peace”, or “Hamlet”, or some such … We wanted a million, but could only get licenses and collars for ten thousand, so if you’re willing to sacrifice Shakespeare for Jackie Collins … read on.

So, we’ve gathered together as many monkeys as we could find … put ‘em at as many computers as we could find (c’mon it’s  the 21st century right?!?) and set ‘em to work.

This is their collected work to date. So far so good … maybe someday we’ll put something together even that Tolstoy guy would like … ya think?

ANYWAY, we’re always looking for feedback, more monkeys to chain to the … ahem … put to work creating the words, images, and sounds to fill our … pages(?), and mostly people to read, listen to, and look at the results of this grand experiment …

Please pass us on … please let us know what you think … and if you have a little monkey at home wasting its time doing nothing for you … let us know. We’ll tell you how to put ‘em to work for the greater good!

MONKEYS of the world UNITE!
