PFN – Antler Velvet Arts Magazine: The buck edition: prompt ‘cocoon’
the buck edition: prompt ‘cocoon’
✥ COCOON ✥ to retreat and find sanctuary, unveiling the essence of comfort and familial warmth before emerging refreshed ✥ THERE IS NO LIMIT TO RESTORATION ✥ embracing the old bonds, birthing tranquility, a perpetual dance of relaxation in the cocoon’s embrace ✥ SANCTUARY OF STILLNESS ✥ an eternal space of retreat, intertwined with the spirit of familial love ✥ in the act of cocooning, the soul’s peace is already nurtured ✥ COMFORT IS ALREADY HERE ✥ rest, rest, rest ✥ the cocoon asks you, are you ready to retreat? ✥ are you prepared to be held? ✥ YOUR FAMILY IS WATCHING ✥ YOU ARE LOVED ✥ DO NOT RUSH
We’re into poetry, flash fiction, nonfiction—pretty much anything creative. Our editions are on the smaller side, with 25-35 pieces of content total. Poetry entries tend to be highly competitive, so make sure to send us your best work!
With these rules in mind you may:
– Upload up to 5 poems (please include them all in one document)
– Upload up to 2 essays up to 2000 words (can be academic or stream-of-consciousness)
– Upload up to 2 fiction pieces under 1000 words
– Due to a surge in popularity, AV will only have submissions open for a month for each edition. This is to ensure enough curation and formatting time provided to our small team of editors!
All successful creators will be emailed upon the release of the online magazine.
Feel free to submit again if your previous work wasn’t the right fit for us. We’re cool with simultaneous submissions too, just give us a heads-up if your work finds a home elsewhere. And, of course, no previously published stuff, please.
Looking forward to checking out your awesome work!
