PFN – inScribe: Journal of Creative Writing. Issue 8 Theme: Food
Submissions for ISSUE 08 // THEME: FOOD are now OPEN
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).
Food, glorious food! The kind for your body and the kind for your soul – that’s what we’re craving for our August 2024 issue. Consider all those tastes and smells connected with memories of time and place; the many traditions, seasons and festivities connected with eating; hunger, thirst, longing, satisfaction and the host of other feelings related to our need to feed – all these ideas and more lie open to your creative interpretation and exploration through the art of poetry, fiction and creative nonfiction. So what are you waiting for? Tuck in!
Whatever’s on your plate, we can’t wait to sample your work.
JOURNAL SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:
-
To be considered for publication, your work must be submitted via our online submission form, here: https://fs20.formsite.com/john1420/zg9d1wbpmu/index
-
The submission form will ask you to attach your work as a Microsoft Word document. No other file types will be read by our editing team.
-
Please ensure the attached file bears the same name as the title of your work and that it does not contain your name or identify you in any way.
-
We ask that you format your submission using a plain, size 12pt font (e.g. Arial, Calibri or Times New Roman) with 1.5 line spacing.
-
In preparing your work for submission, take note of any advertised themes for our up-coming editions.
-
Be sure to edit and proofread your work thoroughly prior to sending it to inScribe.
-
You may submit as many works as you like, but please complete a separate submission form for each title (also bear in mind that sending multiple works does not automatically improve your chances of publication – quality over quantity is far more important).
-
Be sure to observe the maximum length of 3,500 words per story (fiction and non-fiction) and 50 lines per individual poem.
