SUMMARY:PN - Rabbit: A Journal for Nonfiction Poetry Now Accepting Submissions for Issue 39.  Theme: Mutiny
DESCRIPTION:Rabbit is currently accepting poetry submissions for Issue 39: the MUTINY Issue. \nWhen you don’t trust the captains\, it’s time to take back the ship. \nFor Rabbit: MUTINY\, we seek rogue poems that resist the usual rules of resistance. We’re after nonfiction poems\, in all aesthetic registers\, that scorn the tyranny of planned obsolescence\, false idolatry\, rabid anthropocentrism\, bad governance\, and the logic of the market above all else. Send us your long-sighted\, large-hearted\, reverent/irreverent calls to arms.  Any increment of subversion or transgression\, down to and including dumb insolence\, is eagerly solicited for this issue. Now is not the time to be a civic coward. \nWe invite poets to send up to 3 poems in one document through Rabbit’s Submittable site. Please include in the cover letter of your submission: \n• full contact details (postal address\, email) \n• 50-word max. bio \n• a short (50-word max.) response to the following: “Name a poem or a work that refuses to obey orders\, that incites rebellion\, or that questions the validity of authority\, and why it gets you.”

SUMMARY:PFN - THEMA Seeking Submissions on the Theme of Bookmarks
DESCRIPTION:Be sure to Indicate target theme in cover letter or on first page of manuscript. \nShort Stories: All types welcome―both traditional and experimental \nSend to: Virginia Howard\, editor\, Box 8747\, Metairie\, LA 70011-8747 \nOutside the US: email to Virginia Howard at thema@cox.net \n\n\n\n\n\nWhat we like: a carefully constructed plot; good character delineation; clever plot twists \nWhat we don’t like: bedroom/bathroom profanity.  Why? \n\nIt’s boring! Writers should be more creative than to depend on the same tired and dubious language crutches to express surprise\, disdain\, shock\, bemusement\, anger\, sadness\, and other emotions.\nSuch profanity\, used in excess\, often serves as a camouflage for a weak plot. If the plot is good\, the story can be told much more effectively in nonscatologic language even though a character in the story may be sleazy.\nStories of lasting quality rarely need it.\n\nPoetry: All types of poetic form welcome. Submit no more than three poems per theme\, please. If more than three poems are submitted\, we will read only the first three poems in the stack. \nSend to: Gail Howard\, poetry editor\, Box 8747\, Metairie\, LA 70011-8747 \nOutside the US: email to Gail Howard at thema@cox.net \nWhat we like: poems that are thoughtfully constructed and carefully distilled. \nWhat we don’t like: sexually explicit wording. Subtlety is more creative. \n\n\n\n\nTHEMA isn’t for everyone. To find out why\, click here. \nNew to submitting manuscripts to journals?\nClick here to download a PDF file of a few basic guidelines. \nOn acceptance for publication\, we will pay the following amount: short story\, $25; short-short piece (up to 1000 words)\, $10; poem.

SUMMARY:P - the engine(idling Seeking Submissions on: The Slant
DESCRIPTION:Poetry Submissions are currently OPEN for Issue 2! \nThe theme is The Slant\, as in … \n\n“ Tell all the truth but tell it slant —” \n\nPoems that explore the associations and connections of a unique mind. The poet’s eye. A perspective that only the individual could conjure. Worlds\, experiences\, thoughts\, and events cast in a new and distinct light. Poems that focus on the strength of voice and personality. Poems that tinker with language\, imagery\, and unfamiliarity. We want a peek behind the curtain\, to see how the poet sees. \nThe theme is very loose and open to interpretation. The poem’s subject can be anything\, as long as it is told slant. \nOverall\, we are looking for writing that is arresting\, musical and absorbing.  We champion originality\, inventiveness\, word-smithing\, vivid imagery\, and bold leaps. \nTo submit\, please email 1 – 4 poems to the editor at engineidling@gmail.com. \nYou may send poems as a .docx attachment\, or copy / paste them into the body of the email. \nPlease use a standard font.  We will not be able to accommodate specialized formatting. Tabs and indents are okay\, however\, lots of white space\, shape poems\, or poems with specific spatial needs don’t translate well on site. \nCover letters are appreciated but not necessary. At minimum\, include a short third person bio\, with your name (or pen name) as you would like it to appear in the issue.  Your bio can list some of your previous publications\, and/or something interesting about yourself. A few lines will do. Please also include your Instagram / X handles if you want to be followed / tagged in posts\, in the event of your publication. Our acceptance letter asks you for permission to post snippets of your work on social media to promote the issue. \nWe do not charge for submissions\, and we unfortunately cannot pay our contributors. \nthe engine(idling is a new publication.  Depending on the number of submissions we receive\, expect to hear from us within one month\, but likely much sooner.  If you have not heard back from us after one month\, feel free to inquire by replying back to your original email. \nSimultaneous submissions are okay\, but please promptly withdraw work accepted elsewhere by replying back to your original submission email. \nPreviously published work will not be accepted at this time. \nWe honor First North American Serial Rights.  We want to be your piece’s first publication but the rights to the work are always yours. Your work is your own.  If your piece is published in another journal after publication here\, we ask that you include a nod to us being the first. \nWe will not read work that is intentionally hateful\, nor will we entertain the saccharine. \nWe look forward to reading your work! \nWe love experimental work\, work that pushes boundaries\, work that is unexpected or plays with the unfamiliar\, absurdists\, humorists\, hybrid forms\, cut / pastes and erasures (with sources cited)\, rhyming poems\, traditional forms\, free verse\, surrealists\, prose poems\, micro poems\, works that cannot be defined… \nThe rules are very loose and we are always open to something new. The evidence of craft is what interests us most.

SUMMARY:F - On the Premises Short Story Contest Theme: Vehicle
DESCRIPTION:The Current Contest\nShort Story Contest #43 launched on Sunday\, December 10\, 2023. \nVEHICLE \nFor this contest\, write a creative\, compelling\, well-crafted story between 1\,000 and 5\,000 words long in which some kind of vehicle plays an important role. Merely using the vehicle as a simple plot device or to help characters get somewhere is not enough. For instance\, “While flying home I made a bunch of new friends on the flight” isn’t good enough\, because the same story–making new friends–could easily be told without the plane. \nGENRE RULES: No fiction aimed at readers younger than 12\, no exploitative sex\, no over-the-top grossout horror\, and no stories that are obvious parodies of existing fictional worlds/characters created by other authors. (For the same reason\, we do not accept “fan fiction”.) Other than that\, we’ll take anything from the most super-realistic literary drama to crazy farces (real-world or otherwise) to any variant of science fiction or fantasy you can imagine. Read our past issues and you’ll see. \nDeadline: 11:59 PM Eastern US time\, Friday\, March 1\, 2024. \nOne entry per author. There is no fee for entering this contest.\nRemember to take all identifying information out of your story! Tell us who you are in the space provided in the web form cover letter you get when you click on the “submit” button\, NOT in your story! No headers\, no bylines… just the story.

SUMMARY:PFN - PRISM international Seeking Submissions on: Hybrids
DESCRIPTION:What is the joy of the hybrid gesture? Where does it live? And how does hybridizing create that secret third thing? We’re curious about the possibility of the hybrid\, its spirit\, generations\, and generative qualities; its rendering into something capacious enough to hold the boundlessness of the in-between\, the cut-up\, the collab. And in the context of nations and worldviews intent on categorizing and punishing the act of mixing or joining together\, what does hybridity promise for those of us who don’t fit neatly into established norms of nation\, sexuality\, body\, and more? \nSend us your cross-genre mash-ups\, poetry comics or collages\, ekphrastic combines\, fragmentary epistles\, mixtapes on repeat\, queerings of genre/space/time\, counter-colonial translations\, intertextual visions—the unexpected work that creates its own language and rules. If you’re a writer who lives between worlds\, or if hybridity speaks to you in a different way\, we also want to hear from you. \nPROSE GUIDELINES\n\n\nSubmit only one piece at a time\, unless you are submitting flash fiction or non-fiction (under 1\,000 words)\, in which case you may submit up to three pieces in a single document.\n\n\nOur recommended length for submissions is approximately 4\,000 words or less. We have a limited page count per issue and aim to offer a platform for as many talented writers as possible. While we accept prose submissions of up to 25 pages (6\,250 words)\, we must emphasize that it is only exceptional pieces of this length that will receive publication.\n\n\nSend original\, unpublished literary essays\, personal essays\, hybrid-genre works\, and literary journalism. Please note that we do not publish rhetorical\, academic\, or strictly journalistic non-fiction.\n\n\n  \nPOETRY GUIDELINES \n\n\n\n\nSubmit up to four poems\, to a maximum of six pages. Do NOT submit six one-page poems.\n\n\nWe welcome cross-genre and interdisciplinary poetry and poetics.\n\n\nIn your cover letter\, please specify the number of poems you are submitting and list the titles of the poems.\n\n\nPoetry submissions should be typed and single-spaced. If you would like to submit poems with alternate spacing\, please mention it in your cover letter and submit a PDF instead of a Word document.
