SUMMARY:P - Call for Submissions to bath magg
DESCRIPTION:Submissions\n\nWe publish three times a year: in April for the Spring Issue\, August for the Summer Issue\, and December for the Winter Issue. Our submission windows are as follows: \nFebruary 1 – 29 for Spring Issue\nJune 1 – 30 for Summer Issue\nOctober 1 – 31 for Winter Issue \nPlease send no more than three poems as a word document to: bathmagg@gmail.com with the subject line ‘SUBMISSION’. Poems must be previously unpublished. Please include a short biographical note in the body of your email. Please create a new email thread for each submission (i.e.: if you’ve submitted to us before\, please don’t reply to a previous submission’s email thread). Poems submitted outside of the submission window will not be read. \nWe no longer accept simultaneous submissions. i.e.: please don’t send us work that is being considered elsewhere. We are a very small team\, with just the one inbox. We believe our turnaround time of five weeks from the close of the submission window is fair (and even quick) all things considered. \nWe have no restriction on theme or length but for long poems or sequences we suggest no more than three A4 pages. \nWe aim to respond to all submissions within five weeks from the close of the submission window. \nWe currently do not offer payment for poems (although we hope this might change soon). bath magg is run by a tiny team of volunteers\, so\, for now\, all we can offer is our love.

SUMMARY:N - Queer Adventurers LGBTQIA Writing Contest 2023.  Theme: "Firsts"
DESCRIPTION:We are looking for 1\,000 to 1\,500 word personal essays on the theme of Firsts. \nSpecifically\, we’re looking to hear a true first-person story of the first time you tried an outdoor activity and how it went. \nTrying something new outdoors builds skills and breaks us out of routine. It can lead to new friendships\, confidence\, and growth. \nLike that time I got lost in a Florida swamp and had to call 911 to get rescued\, it can also go spectacularly wrong! \nStories of the good\, the bad and the never-doing-that-again kind are all welcome! \nAll submissions must connect to the chosen theme and center your LGBTQIA identity. This means more than a passing mention of a sexuality or gender identity. We want to see LGBTQIA identities woven into the stories. \nAll submissions must come from an LGBTQIA author. \nAt Queer Adventurers\, we take an expansive definition of outdoor adventures. We love hardcore stories of multi-day trips and treks. We also appreciate the gentler activities: urban nature walks\, birding\, garden tours. We believe spending time in nature is healing\, regardless of the level of activity it involves. We’re deeply excited to hear your stories of LGBTQ travel firsts. \nEligibility: \nThis LGBTQ+ writing contest accepts submissions from writers anywhere in the world aged 18+. Stories must be previously unpublished. Stories that were previously published on a blog\, Instagram\, etc. are ineligible. Stories must be in English. \nOne submission per writer is allowed\, thanks! Submissions that exceed this work count will be deemed ineligible\, as will multiple submissions from a single writer. \nPrizes\nThe winning writer will receive a $150 cash prize\, payable via PayPal or Venmo.\nOne runner-up will receive a $50 cash prize\, payable via PayPal or Venmo.\nWinning and longlisted writers will have their essays published in Queer Adventurers.

DESCRIPTION:100 words about 5 minutes of your life\, on the theme of AWAY. Interpret any way you’d like. Submit up to five entries. \nSend us your 100-word piece about five minutes in your life and we’ll consider it for publication. Guidelines: \n• Piece should be 100 words\, formatted as one paragraph. Not 99. Not 101. Title\, which is not part of 100 words\, should be 15 characters maximum\, including spaces. \n• There should be one identifiable moment (approx. five minutes) that’s the crux of the piece. \n• We don’t publish:\n—retellings of dreams\n—retellings of things you imagined\n—retellings of things you saw without any reference to you/your response (we want you in the piece!)\n—erotic memoir\n—pieces containing graphic violence\n—pieces from the perspective of abusers\n—poetry or fiction\, though we are interested in poetic prose and memoir masquerading as fiction\n—pieces which overtly promote a theological or political ideology\n—pieces in which you tell us someone else’s memory as told to you\n—pieces that contain hate speech\n—slurs. \n• Each piece should be formatted without line breaks;\none block of text\, not multiple\, short paragraphs. \n• -We are receiving many (beautiful) submissions about the last time a writer saw a beloved person\, about putting a pet to sleep\, and about the quiet moments in the morning before the day starts. Due to the high number of submissions on these themes\, these pieces are less likely to receive acceptances. We challenge you to take risks with your voice\, your structure\, your chronology … anything that might set your piece apart. \nA panel of contest readers will read/score pieces. The top ten pieces will be sent to Contest Judge Karen Zey who will choose the winner as well as two runners-up. All top ten pieces will run in Five Minutes. \nThe winner will receive 2/5 the contest entry fees\, or $2 per entry. If 2 people enter\, the fees will add up to $10 and the winner will receive $4. If 100 people enter\, that amount will be $500 and the winner will receive $200. [Boring explainer: Submittable keeps $.99 per $5 entry. Five Minutes keeps $2.01 per entry. Winner wins $2 per entry.] \nPlease read Five Minutes’ guidelines for our regular submissions\, which apply here\, except you MAY submit even if you have pieces upcoming in Five Minutes\, and you may submit up to five times. We will return your entry and request a re-format if guidelines haven’t been followed. \nThe contest runs October 1-31; our regular submissions portal will open again on November 1.

SUMMARY:PFN - Call for Submissions to Mid-Level Management Literary Magazine (MIDLVLMAG) Theme: "Dress Code"
DESCRIPTION:DRESS CODE is the clothing we wear\, the image we present\, the requirements set before us by corporations in the pursuit of uniformity and consistency. \nDRESS CODE is personal\, intimate\, a klaxon / clarion call to let others know who we are. \nDRESS CODE is the compromise we make to put food on the table\, the morals we sacrifice to fit in\, the opportunities we take to get ahead. \nDRESS CODE is our innermost self as expression\, as art\, as code\, as signal\, as call and response. \nDRESS CODE is ubiquitous camouflage\, overt isms\, the way it’s always been. \nSimultaneous Submissions:\nYes!

SUMMARY:PF - EcoTheo Review Seeking Submissions on the Theme of Friendship
DESCRIPTION:We consider submissions of poetry and prose that explores questions of ecology and spirituality from within and outside all religious traditions. We are delighted by compelling stories and bewitching poems that reflect our values of curiosity\, justice\, and community. We consider all submissions for publication on our website and/or in our quarterly print issues. \nWINTER 2024 Theme: FRIENDSHIP \nAristotle said that friendship is one soul abiding in two bodies\, and Samuel Taylor Coleridge referred to it as a sheltering tree. Friendship transcends species; think of companion plantings\, where fennel and dill cheer each other on; or your favorite winsome image of chimpanzees and tigers loafing and inviting their souls. For our winter issue\, EcoTheo Review seeks fiction\, essays\, and poems that explore the tenderness\, sustenance\, vicissitudes\, and surprises of our friendships. We want to know about your human and more-than-human besties\, the trees and critters that have been with you through thick and thin. From October 15th-31st we look forward to considering your work! \nEcoTheo Review appreciates the trust involved in our relationships with authors and readers. We know how difficult it can be to share work\, especially of a sensitive nature. If the work you are sending us depicts traumatic events\, whether personal or historical in nature\, we invite you to consider including a Content Warning for our editors. Should we choose to publish such work\, we want to demonstrate care for our readers as well\, and our Publication Contract will include an opportunity for you to offer a Content Warning. These will be included when we publish the work\, online and/or in print\, as well as when we share the work through our social media accounts. We are grateful for the opportunity to consider your work. \nPlease allow at least 3 months while we review your submission. Our editors are all volunteers\, with other work\, family\, and creative commitments. We appreciate your patience as we give all submissions the consideration they deserve. We do not accept previously published work\, but we do accept simultaneous submissions. Please notify us promptly if your work is accepted elsewhere. \nPoetry\nPoets must limit submissions to two per calendar year. Each submission may not include more than 3 poems and may not exceed 10 pages total. Poets who exceed the number of submissions per year\, the number of poems per submission\, or the number of pages per submission will be rejected. \n\nSubmit poems as a single file.\nAll efforts are made to preserve formatting.\nAllow 3 months before querying on the status of your work.\n\nProse\nWe welcome works of fiction and creative nonfiction of up to 5\,000 words. \nOur Ecology Editor Michelle Kim Hall is particularly interested in essays\, book reviews\, and interviews drawn from the fields of ecology.

SUMMARY:PFN - Open Minds Quarterly Seeking Submissions on the Theme of "Identity"
DESCRIPTION:The theme for Winter 2024 is: Identity \nHow has your experience with mental health challenges\, mental illness\, madness\, and/or neurodivergence shaped your identity? How do other identities intersect with your experience? Have mental health challenges\, mental illness\, madness\, and/or neurodivergence affected the way you see yourself? What about others? Do you feel your identity is understood by others? What would you like to tell them about it? We want to here all about how identity affects your lived experiences. \nWe encourage you to consider this theme and incorporate it into your work. Pieces that follow the theme will have a much higher chance of being selected for this issue than pieces that don’t follow the theme. \nNonfiction\, reviews\,  and letters\, should relate specifically to experiences of madness or mental health challenges. Poetry\, fiction\, or visual art submissions do not need to focus on madness/mental health\, but we may prioritize pieces that fit our mandate and this issue’s theme. \nWe focus on publishing contributors with lived experience and work based on first-hand experience. We do not publish work that tells other people’s stories for them or tells second-hand stories about them. \nOpen Minds Quarterly is a literary journal that features explorations of life in a mad world. We welcome writing and art from people with lived experience of what is variously called mental health challenges\, mental illness\, madness\, and neurodiversity. We strive to promote these voices and perspectives by publishing work based on first-hand lived experience. \nYou may submit to ONE of these categories per submission period: \n\nNonfiction: 1 piece limit\, 3000 word maximum.\nFiction: 1 piece limit\, 3000 word maximum.\nPoetry: 4 piece limit\, 96 lines maximum per poem (this includes stanza breaks\, but not the title).
