Please refer to the next issue guidelines before submitting your work.
Sein und Werden is 20 this year. She's all growed up... a little warped, a little twisted, and with a little bit of revenge to exact...
Score:

(n) 20/an indefinitely large number; (n) £20 [slang]; (v) to scratch lines into a surface; (n) the written composition of a piece of music; (n) the musical accompaniment to a film; (n) a grudge; (v) to obtain eg. drugs through illegal means; (n) an accomplishment such as a test or match result.

Read more about what I'm looking for in the small print below...

THE SMALL PRINT...


Every issue of Sein und Werden is themed and work must somehow incorporate the Werdenist ideal ie. it must touch on at least one of the isms - Expressionism, Surrealism, Existentialism.

Sein und Werden is a non-profit-making venture, therefore we cannot pay for material we publish.

I want your:  Short stories, novel excerpts, dreams, thoughts, scribblings, poetry, artwork, photography, unfinished writing.

If you're still stuck, here are a few authors/directors/artists I like:


Antonin Artaud                                
J G Ballard                                        
George Bataille                             
Philip K Dick             
Lawrence Durrell  
Knut Hamson      
Daniil Kharms          
Julia Kristeva      
Lydia Lunch            
Henry Miller        
John-Paul Sartre
Bruno Schulz
