Submissions Closed through August.
We've received so many submissions that we need to take a break to give each piece the attention it deserves. To that end, we will be closing submissions for the summer. So enjoy the sunshine, write all you can, then submit to Fringe when submissions reopen on September 1.

Fringe Goes Quarterly.
Fringe is now publishing 4 times a year, so there is plenty of time to catch the fringiest literature online.
