These are ruthless times. (Want more proof? Here.) And being a publication that keeps up with the times, we’ve come up with this theme for our next issue: Dog Eat Dog.

Papercuts magazine is soliciting poems, stories and essays about success that comes at any cost: about cutthroat competition, about ambition that knows no bounds. You can write about politics, religion, status or plain old gossip – we don’t care. Just show us how things get ugly.

Questions? See the submission guidelines. Deadline: 15th May.

In case you haven’t gotten it yet, here’s another video of people punching people. Happy writing!
