PFN – inScribe: Journal of Creative Writing Seeking Submissions for Issue 9 on the Theme of: Science
ISSUE 09 // THEME: SCIENCE are now OPEN
“Follow the science” – isn’t that what we’re told? Only what is science and how is it supposed to lead? Surely the human imagination runs ahead of science, determining the questions and aims we consider important. And what of science and religion – are they really the mortal enemies we’ve been led to believe? C.S. Lewis suggested that “In Science we are only reading the notes to a poem; in Christianity we find the poem itself.” How is science poetic, or poetry scientific? For one thing, science without imagery remains mute: no waves, fields, or minds hard-wired. Poetry, for her part, without honest attention to the world in all its depths turns blind. Each holds Truth in highest regard, while approaching from opposite ends. For our Feb 2025 issue of inScribe, we are inviting new and creative explorations of the many and varied meeting points of science and imagination – so start theorising and get scribing!
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.
