PFN – inScribe: Journal of Creative Writing Seeks Submissions on “Birds”
inScribe
JOURNAL OF CREATIVE WRITING
We accept original submissions of short fiction in any genre (up to 3500 words), both formal and free verse poetry (up to 50 lines) as well as works of creative nonfiction (up to 3500 words).
Submissions for
ISSUE 05 // THEME: BIRDS
are now OPEN
until December 16, 2022
The place of birds in literature and human experience is as rich and varied as the 10,000 plus species that grace our wonderful planet. Their presence helps define our sense of place, the movement of the seasons, and even the time of day. Birds figure prominently in mythology, in folklore, in story and song, while their place in Christian scripture and symbolism is just as varied. So let your imagination soar, and send us your best avian-inspired poetry, stories and essays!
Please follow the Journal Submission Guidelines below.
