PF – Call for Submissions to Mystic Owl Magazine. Theme: Halloween
October 4, 2024 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
Submission Guidelines
Mystic Owl is a poetry and fiction magazine. Speculative work is the focus, but we also want pieces that weave strange and weird language through real human emotions. We aim to publish three online issues yearly: spring, summer, and fall.
We are currently accepting submissions for our micro Halloween-themed issue to be published in October 2024. Our submission period will be open from September 6, 2024-October 4, 2024.
In this issue, we want to highlight fiction and poetry inspired by Halloween. Send us your work about monsters, talking pumpkins, becoming best friends with a sleep paralysis demon, your childhood nightmares, or whatever your tell-tale heart desires.
