Slop Sandwich is a non-fictional humor journal with a literary twist. It’s foremost objective is to showcase the unconstrained beauty of the personal narrative, to document the human experience in its most humorous and authentic form. Everyone has lived through the humiliating, disturbing, bizarre, and nonsensical. Slop Sandwich is a platform to chronicle these tales. It is a collection of beautif
ully written stories about explosive diarrhea, elegantly told, detail-rich accounts of sexual mishaps and strange ge***al defects. Think of Slop Sandwich as The Moth meets the candid humor of David Sedaris, meets the self-deprecation of Woody Allen, meets the jarring sincerity of Amy Schumer. And after you’ve disentangled and interpreted this strange mishmash, forget it all, and just write in your own unique style. What’s most important is that your story is true and genuine, that it’s revealing and relatable, that it comes from a place of emotional turbulence. While most stories are welcome, there are a few types of submissions we will not feature. Please share your chest-bumping, Max Tucker-esque stories with your bros, but not here. If your story degrades or demeans yourself, that’s great, but it should never cheapen other people. Also, please refrain from sending stories that spotlight the tribulations of other people. You’re the solo performer of this one-person show. We hope that over time, Slop Sandwich continues to elucidate the weirdness and eccentricities of everyday life, to cultivate an open community of oversharers, and to provide a therapeutic outlet through the power of humor. Thanks again for stopping by and joining us on this sloppy journey.
