PFN – The Argyle Literary Magazine Seeking Submissions on the Theme of Blood
Theme One: Blood
We are fascinated by it. We fear it. We need it to live. Without it, we die. We spill it for love and country. It binds us together. It tears us apart.
In Issue #2 (March 2024), The Argyle will introduce the inclusion of its “Theme” page, which will showcase selected pieces of poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and digital art that are based on a particular theme in each issue.
Works for the March 2024 issue will be based on the theme of Blood. Contributors may interpret the theme literally or figuratively; however, the concept of blood must be reflected (directly or indirectly) in their submissions. Note: While speculative pieces may be considered, we are not looking for works of horror, gore, or gratuitous violence.
Submission Guidelines
We are looking for original, unpublished work; however, we are also all about reprinting strong pieces that aren’t done making their “rounds” (just let us know where reprints were originally published and acknowledge you currently retain the rights to them). Please do let us know if your submission (or part of your submission) has been accepted elsewhere ASAP via our submission email (submissions@theargylelitmag.com) so we can remove it from consideration and give you a heartfelt “Congratulations!”
The Argyle accepts general submissions for poetry, short fiction, essays, interviews, reviews, and more.
-
Short fiction, CNF, & Essays – up to 3 pieces (approximately 3,000 words each). We can be a little flexible for longer pieces).
-
Poetry – up to 6 poems (no limitations, but rhyme at your own risk).
No submissions created with AI (either partially or totally) may be submitted for consideration!
Submit your work at submissions@theargylelitmag.com, including “Submission type – Name + number of pieces” in the subject line (ex: Poetry submission – John Doe (5 pieces). We accept Word documents and PDFs. Include a short bio (up to 100 words) and a photo to be included with our submitted work (if accepted).
