PFN – Instant Noodles Seeking Submissions on the Theme: Current
Volume 5, Issue 1 theme: CURRENT
The first theme for 2025 is CURRENT. “Start thinking now,” says contributing editor Nadja Maril, “about our spring theme current.”
What ideas does the word current evoke for you? Are you thinking about being hip, cool and up on “current” events or are you traveling on an air “current.” Where does the word take you? Try writing a story about yourself, something you observed, or something entirely imaginary.
Submissions close MARCH 16, 2025 and the issue publishes MAY 1, 2025.
Please don’t use AI to make your writing.
Do look at the magazine. We have unusual covers, great writing and art, and we always submit to Best of the Net.
All work must be original and must belong to the author. Works that have been previously published will not be considered. Stories must be complete and self-contained (i.e., do not submit chapters of a larger work). NOTE: Accepted works will be published as submitted without editing; as such, in addition to the originality of the work itself, we are looking for manuscripts that are clean and press ready. Be sure to review your grammar, spelling, tenses, proper punctuation, and other general rules of the written word before hitting “Send.”
Please include a brief bio (0-200 words, with links) to be included on the contributors’ page of the magazine if your work is chosen. Feel free to use AI to write, edit, or tighten up your bio.
We follow up each issue with a live Zoom reading
