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 - Fruit: Queer Literary Journal Seeking Submissions about: Queer Space
DESCRIPTION:What does queer space mean to you? Where is it? We want you to take us there! You might write about a physical space\, past or present\, which has queer resonance. It could be fact or fiction. It might be a story\, a description\, a map. It could be somewhere you’ve been or want to go. It could be a home lived in or designed by queers. It could be a path or a tour. You might want to explore virtual worlds and imagined spaces. Or you might think about the page as a space. \nWe think of queerness as having a strong connection to space. The word ‘queer’ comes from the word athwart\, which means across.[i] The closet is a place which we’re out of or in. And during our daily lives\, space is often on our mind: we navigate areas which aren’t designed for us and may be unsafe. We seek out and make our own places. You could read more about queer space here. \nWho Can Submit \nAnyone who identifies as LGBTQ+ is welcome. We’re particularly keen to platform underrepresented voices. This includes people of colour\, trans* and working class authors\, and writers with disabilities. \nWhat to Submit \nCreative Writing \nFor us\, ‘queer writing’ is disruptive and boundary breaking. We like to read stories which haven’t been told before and stories told in new ways. For example\, there are plenty of ‘coming out’ narratives around; we’d only be interested in reading one if it did something new – either by being formally innovative or by presenting a different perspective. We look for writing which disrupts\, breaks and plays with language. All kinds of text-based work is welcome\, including poetry\, short fiction\, non-fiction and hybrid pieces. There are no restrictions on what you send us but since this is an inclusive space\, we reject prejudiced views. \nGuidelines \n\nProse word limit: 3000 (shorter pieces preferred).\nPoetry line limit: 100.\nReview line limit: 1500.\nYou’re welcome to submit one or more pieces of work up to the word or line limit.\nPlease present your writing in .doc or .docx format if possible.\nPlease include a short biography in your email.\nIf you are a writer based in the North of England\, let us know; we’re committed to publishing local talent.\nSimultaneous submissions accepted (but please notify us if your piece is accepted elsewhere).\nWe don’t accept previously published work.

SUMMARY:N - Friends Journal Seeking Submissions about: George Fox
DESCRIPTION:We’re breaking two of our rules for the June/July 2024 issue. The first is our aversion to running issues focused on particular individuals. Perhaps it’s a remnant of the kind of old-school Quaker humility that gave the world plain speech\, plain dress\, and plain meetinghouse architecture\, but we’re also a bit allergic to the “Great Man” histories that ignore the context behind most social movements. We also shy away from giving attention to anniversaries\, which seem rather arbitrary and also too plentiful. \nBut rules are meant to be broken\, right? This summer we’re looking at the 400th Anniversary or George Fox’s Birth (which occurred in July of 1624; historians are not sure of the exact day). \nFor those who have never walked into a meetinghouse or even cursorily scanned the Quaker Wikipedia entry\, Fox is the founder of the Religious Society of Friends. Well\, at least he’s credited for that. In reality there was already a strong movement of independent spiritual seekers when he arrived on the scene\, and there were dozens of other ministers\, organizers\, and writers who each left their mark on the burgeoning Quaker movement. \nStill\, there’s a very good question to be asked (and perhaps an article to be written) about whether we should be making this kind of a fuss for George Fox. The irony is that those first Friends weren’t themselves interested in recent historical movements. They distrusted academic learning\, rarely quoted spiritual contemporaries (except perhaps to mock them)\, and didn’t believe in any authority other than Christs’ inward inspiration and the Bible. What would Fox himself think of all the attention we give about him? When she first heard him preach\, Fox’s future wife Margaret Fell went into a swoon when he preached “You will say Christ saith this\, and the apostles say this; but what canst thou say?” \nMany modern Friends very much care about what the apostle Fox said. In the twentieth century\, many of the most visionary Friends were historians\, from Braithwaite to Jones to Brinton. Quakers have used histories to divide us with claims that some types of Friends are closer to the original vision than others. But they have also been used to unite us by giving us a shared history that all Friends can claim. \nFriends World Committee for Consultation has had its eyes focused on the anniversary for a while\, hoping that Friends across the globe can put aside differences to get to know one another through our shared spiritual ancestor. There’s been a growing interest in recent decades for increased communication to understand differences among Friends. This seems as good a time as any to throw a Quaker block party. \nWhat does George Fox mean to you? What parts of his life or writings have inspired and buoyed your own spiritual path? But we don’t just want a figurehead: we also want to understand the context of Fox’s life—his flaws\, his evolutions\, the things that make him not a saint but a fellow traveler. Give us the nuance. How did a movement coalesce around him? What lessons does his life provide for those of us wanting to bring together today’s seekers? What pieces of his legacy have we been overlooking? \nFinally\, a few pleas: please\, please\, please don’t write about Penn’s sword unless you’re discussing nineteenth-century Quaker hagiography (which\, to be honest\, could make for an interesting article for another issue). Also\, take care to not dice up Fox quotes with so many cuts and pastes and ellipses that the original meaning is obscured. Let’s try to approach him as he was\, or at least as he presented himself.\nFast Facts \n\nFeatures run 1200-2500 words.\nSubmissions close March 25\, 2024 (deadline extended)\nQuestions? Email editors@friendsjournal.org\n\nLearn more general information at Friendsjournal.org/submissions.

SUMMARY:PFN - Call for Submissions to The Woolf.  Theme: Music
DESCRIPTION:Hear\, play or make it. Be stilled\, stunned\, changed\, warped\, saved\, ruined or reborn by it. Music is the prompt for Issue 6 – so send us your best!  Note that the use of others’ published song lyrics or music is not recommended for copyright reasons). Be sure to visit our website to get the lowdown on submission guidelines. We look forward to seeing your work! \n\n\n  \n\n\ncreative nonfiction <2500 words\nflash fiction <1000 words\nmicrofiction <100 words\, up to 3 pieces in one document\nprose poetry <300 words\nshort fiction <2500 words\nHow to submit\n\n\n\n\nSubmissions for Issue 6 (Music) are open through 25 March 2024. Be sure to check out Duotrope for the details (especially when it comes to the use of published song lyrics in your work). But first\, have a look at our basic submission guidelines below. \n\n\n\n\nThe important stuff  \n\nWe only accept original\, unpublished work. If your work has already appeared in The Woolf\, please wait two issues before submitting again.\nOnly work sent through the official submission platform will be considered.\nNo name or identifying information should appear on the piece you’re submitting (we review the work blind).\nSimultaneous submissions are encouraged\, but please withdraw your work pronto if it has been accepted elsewhere (and if so\, congrats!).\nSubmissions are and will remain free. While submitting\, you are welcome to toss something into our tip jar to help us offset expenses – it’s always appreciated.\nWhile we can’t pay contributors at this time\, we promise to promote your pieces once the issue goes live and nominate the best work for international awards where we can. (In fact\, this micro from Issue 1 was selected for the Best Microfiction 2022 anthology.)\nDespite our name\, any reference to wolves or Virginia Woolf could raise our hackles – so proceed with caution.\nFinally\, please don’t send us work that makes us question our faith in this already fragile world – stuff that’s gratuitously sexual\, overly violent\, discriminatory\, vile or just kind of morally repugnant. And since we apparently have to spell this out: no animal cruelty.\n\n  \n\n\nRights and terms  \n\nBy submitting your work\, you grant us first electronic rights and non-exclusive archival rights. After first publication\, you retain ownership rights. If your work later appears elsewhere\, we’d love a credit for the first publication.\nSmall editorial adjustments to accepted submissions may be made in the name of clarity and flow. For more significant changes\, the author will be contacted. All other editorial decisions\, including art direction\, are the domain of The Woolf and final.\nWe reserve the right to remove contributions from the website without notice.
