Apart from our annual contest\, we have no deadlines for submissions. \nWe particularly welcome submissions from Indigenous writers\, writers of colour\, writers with disabilities\, LGBTQQIA+ writers\, and writers from other intersectional and under-represented communities. If you are comfortable identifying yourself as one or more of the above\, please feel free to mention this in your cover letter. \nThe Fiddlehead will not read work that is ableist\, misogynistic\, queer-phobic\, or racist. \nIf you are serious about submitting to The Fiddlehead\, you should read an issue or two to get a sense of the journal. Consider subscribing  or contact us to order sample back issues ($10-$15 plus postage). \nGeneral Guidelines for Unsolicited Submissions\n• Pay is $60 CAD per published page\, plus two complimentary copies of the issue with your work. Contributors may purchase additional copies of an issue at a discount. \n• The Fiddlehead buys first serials rights; copyright is retained by the author at all times\, and authors are free to resell the work\, though we do ask for a 90-day exclusive from our first publication of the work. \n• Writers may only submit once per calendar year per genre.

SUMMARY:PFN - Eternal Haunted Summer Seeks Submissions on: "Other-Than-Human Realms"
DESCRIPTION:Other-Than-Human Realms.  In many cosmologies\, Earth is the middle realm\, the land of mortals. Other realms — above\, below\, sideways and sidewise — are home to other-than-human peoples. Some of these lands are forbidden to mortals\, while some we can visit only in dreams or trance. But wherever and whatever they are\, they are not our home; they belong to Others. Send us poems about Olympus and Hyperborea\, Annwn and Alfheim. Send us short stories about the court of a Fae Queen\, the garden of a peri\, Hy-Brasil and Feather Mountain. Send us essays about the Garden of the Hesperides\, the Land of Manu\, and fiery Muspelheim. [Please note that we are not interested in fictional lands such as Narnia\, Wonderland\, or Oz.] b \nWhat are the Submission Guidelines? We’re looking for hymns to Odin and Inanna and Sekhmet. Prayers to Hermes and Brigid and Asherah. Short stories featuring (or otherwise referencing) Lugh and Yinepu and Hekate. Every poetic form\, from sonnet to rhyming couplet to free form\, is acceptable. There is no set length. Any genre of short story is welcome\, from mystery to fantasy to true lifeish to reimaginings of classic myths\, provided the Deities and heroes are treated respectfully (no bashing someone else’s Gods\, please!). There is no length limit\, but if you are planning to write a novella\, please discuss that with the editors of EHS in advance; any story over 5000 words will likely be serialized across two or more issues. \nPoems or stories that feature Deities from pantheons generally considered to be outside the Pagan umbrella\, but which are still from polytheistic traditions — such as a poem to the Hawaiian Pele or a short story focusing on the Shinto Amaterasu-omikami — are absolutely welcome. The wider the diversity of traditions represented\, the happier the editors are. \nWe are also interested in essays which address the nature of the Deities\, the mythologies of the various pantheons\, folklore\, ritual\, et cetera and et cetera. So\, for example\, we would be keen to read your essay on Hermanubis and how He relates to Hermes and Anubis. Or\, your essay examining primary sources for The Cailleach. Or\, a discussion of the evolution of Veles from (benevolent) God of the Underworld to (Christian) demon and how Polish and Slavic Pagans are resurrecting His worship. \nWhat we do not want: anything about Atlantis\, Mu\, UFOs\, aliens\, or subterranean civilizations. No gore or excessive violence. Sexual content will be judged on a submission by submission basis.

SUMMARY:PFN - Moss Piglet Zine Seeks Submissions: Food\, Glorious Food!
DESCRIPTION:The Krazines welcome your submissions of prose and poetry for its upcoming issue. \nShow us or tell us about favorite (and least favorite) dishes\, about gardening and farming for food\, about hunting\, home canning and jarring\, about childhood memories\, about eating\, cooking\, or serving food in restaurants or at home. \nSubmissions of Stories\, Essays & Poems\n\nPlease send text submissions in .doc\, .docx or PDF formats to info@krazines.com.  We are more apt to accept short works\, as our publication is digest-size\, but we don’t have a word limit.  Check out some of our past issues to get an idea on the style and length of written work that we have published. \nYou may provide multiple submissions\, but don’t go crazy. Someone has to read all of the stuff that comes across our desk. We’re OK with simultaneous submissions and previously published work. Just cite the place where your writing previously appeared. If you have a fancy title like Poet Laureate\, Writer-In-Residence\, or you have been knighted by the Queen\, we’d be happy to include that information in our publication right next to your name.

SUMMARY:P - Cæsura Seeks Poetry with the Theme: Reset
DESCRIPTION:Cæsura 2022: Reset \nThe Call: Blinded by fractured light through the broken view of a kaleidoscope that has twisted our senses into a cloud of fever dreams; we reach\, strive for a pattern of hope\, a tessellation that integrates all our broken parts into a creation of beauty. Together we replant the seeds. We reset our gaze on the intricate and fertile patterns of empathy and love. \nThe editors will judge from blind lists to create the two unique versions of Cæsura Reset\, the print version and the online version. \nNEW and UNPUBLISHED poets\, every year we recruit\, appreciate\, and publish your work. Please add the comment “Not yet published” to your cover page. \nEveryone may submit up to 3 literary works \nWe reserve first-print publication rights and the right to post work for publication on our website. Previously published work\, in print or online\, will not be considered. \nWe are partial to poems of 32 lines or fewer\, but make exceptions for longer poems that are too good to pass up. \nWe prefer prose of 320 words\, but will consider anything less than 1000. \nLonger works of any style or format will be considered for the print edition but are more likely to appear online.

SUMMARY:N - Seeking Submissions on: "Cars Against Humanity"
DESCRIPTION:Accepting Submissions\n\n\nWe want the essays in this volume to help readers understand the deadly automotive ecologies that have emerged around the world over the past century.  Because we expect this anthology to provoke as wide as possible a discussion about whether the sacrifices we’ve made for cars are worth it\, we especially welcome: \n\nsubmissions that address the peculiarities of a local transit culture\nsubmissions by people who don’t think of themselves as writers or scholars\nsubmissions from authors outside the global North\n\nAlthough essays may contain a personal element\, contributions should focus on description and exploration of the anti-life ecology created by cars. \nWe’re not looking for: essays on carbon emissions and global warming (this volume will focus on local ecologies)\, personal stories about driver-caused death and injury (unless such stories are situated as part of a broader ecological analysis)\, essays written by cars pretending to be people. \n\n\nTopics might include: \n\nroadkill disposal work\nbody-car encounters\nhow cars change laws\nhighway geographies and urban segregation\ncars and masculinities\nthe impact of cars and roads on multi-species worlds\nautomobile soundscapes vs. avian soundscapes\nasphalt economies\nanimal/human mobilities and disabilities vs. automobilities\nthe ineffable romance of being stuck in traffic\ncars as housing\nanimals living in or destroying cars\n\n…and many others we haven’t thought of. \n\n\nWord count:\n500-4500 words per piece.

SUMMARY:PN - Kosmos Journal Quarterly Seeks Submissions: "Blessed Community | The Families We Make"
DESCRIPTION:  \nCircle of Friends\, Nancy Earle\nDuring the pandemic\, many found comfort in forming pods\, (small groups of loved ones and friends)\, and in joining online groups and sharing circles that supported co-learning\, activism\, spiritual connection\, or simply provided moral support. Such connections can bind us more strongly than our blood-family relationships. \nIntentional communities are not new. They include ecovillages\, housing cooperatives and spiritual communities such as monasteries. Yet\, these are also evolving to serve the needs of new generations. Transition Towns\, residential land trusts and farming cooperatives have strengthened local economies and cultures of sharing. \nSuch groups\, large and small\, often have a set of values members hold in common\, like confidentiality\, mentorship\, and recognition of historic trauma. Circles may use story\, art and music help members heal and  provide a deep sense of belonging. We are reinventing community from the ground up! \nWhat are the intentional groups\, circles and heart-families you have created or joined? How would you describe the values or guiding principles of the group? In what ways have your groups transformed you? What does the term ‘blessed community’ mean to you? How has ‘coming to circle’ awakened something deep within you or enabled you to serve your community in a new way? \nThese are some of the questions we seek to explore in the Summer edition of Kosmos Quarterly. We welcome your essays up to 1200 words\, poems\, art and other works. Please review our submission guidelines carefully.
