PFN – Wordrunner eChapbooks Anthology Series Seeking Submissions. Theme: Displacement
GUIDELINES FOR ANTHOLOGY SUBMISSIONS:
We are especially interested in historical fiction for our next issue. The theme is: DISPLACEMENT. This can be anything from physical displacement (moving, emigrating, exile) to estrangement or emotional or spiritual shifts. We want emotional complexity and nuanced characters in prose pieces, as well as precise and telling language.
For poetry: Surprise and delight us with fresh language and boundary-breaking daring. Show us something we have never seen before, but have always felt is true. Uncover or discover a new mode of expression, inextricably wed to its message.
Submit up to three poems (no longer than a page each) or three flash fictions (500 to 1,000 words each), or one short story, novel or CNF/memoir excerpt, or a personal essay (up to 5,000 words). There are separate categories for each genre (poetry, fiction, nonfiction).
Work should not have been previously published. No AI-generated or assisted writing, please.
Submit ONE FILE (Word doc or docx, RTF or ODT), which includes title (or titles, if poems or multiple flash fictions) in the file name (but do NOT include the author’s name anywhere in the manuscript).
