Workers Write! Overtime

Overtime, a series of one-story chapbooks, was created to showcase some of the stories we receive that are a little too long for our Workers Write! series, but are worthy of publication.

We are looking for stories between 5,000 - 10,000 words, where work is a central theme.

We expect to publish 1-3 stories a year, and each issue will cost $2.50.

If you think you have a story that would make an excellent edition of Overtime, send us a query.

Our fourth hour of Overtime is "A Pocket Guide to Male Prostitution," written by Tyler McMahon.

Surfing and sex would seem like the perfect summertime combination, but as this step-by-step guide shows, every job has its price.

Tyler McMahon is a graduate of the MFA program at Boise State University.
