One of the main things we’re trying to communicate with this contest is that literature is a community. (In this case, “second base” refers to urban second base rural second base is okay.) However, if you have gotten past second base with a member of the editorial staff: why don’t you call us already? It’s been more than three days. We also can’t accept submissions from anyone who has gotten past second base with any member of the editorial staff. Former Treehouse contributors are invited to submit work. UNCW students may submit work, so long as they’re not currently on staff at Ecotone. In the interest of fairness, we can’t accept submission from editors at any of the magazines or publishing houses that are participating. We’re even going to implement our ultra-secret “assigning numbers to stories and then not telling anybody what the numbers mean” system. Since we often get writing from people we kind of know, either via real life or the internet, we want to be extra careful that everything is getting read blind. Your name MUST NOT APPEAR ANYWHERE ON YOUR PIECE. Otherwise, they will simply be filed as regular submissions and will have zero chance of receiving cool swag. Subject line of contest entries must say: CONTEST ENTRY. All entries must be emailed to by April 30. Entries are to be a maximum of 750 words. ( Sorry, no poetry with line breaks for this one.) So if you think your story, essay, prose poem, or genrebender fits the bill, send it our way. In the past we’ve published stories in the form of to-do lists, invisible text with footnotes, survival guides, landlord-tenant correspondence, recipes, and also all kinds of inventive work that was linguistically, but not necessarily structurally, experimental. We’re interested in prose that does unusual stuff. Our favorite non-winning contest entries will also be published in Treehouse.The rules: To celebrate our successful first year, Treehouse is proud to present our First Annual Literary Loot Contest for Unusual Prose! In addition to publication in Treehouse, the contest winner will also receive: a one year subscription to Barrelhouse, Booth, Carolina Quarterly, Ecotone, Gigantic, Gulf Coast,, and REAL: Regarding Arts & Letters two new Fall titles from brand new (but no less awesome) indie press A Strange Object, two new titles from Dzanc Books and a six-month subscription to their e-book club a copy of Michael Kimball Writes Your Life Story (on a postcard) and First Year (an MLP Anthology) from Mud Luscious Press and a t-shirt from A Strange Object and. Submissions are read on a rolling basis (unless otherwise noted). Simultaneous and multiple (up to three) submissions are accepted. We accept writing no longer than 1,000 words in fiction, nonfiction, and poetry genres. We feature previously unpublished work from emerging and established writers alike. 
For the past year, Treehouse has been dedicated to exhibiting pleasantly unusual and interesting writing that is short enough to read on a coffee break but good enough to linger over.
