SUMMARY:PFN - Call for Submissions to Pangyrus Lit Mag.  Theme: Left Unsaid
DESCRIPTION:Some of the work we accept will appear in our 12th print issue (Winter 2024-2025)! The theme for the issue is “Left Unsaid”. We like the phrase’s suggestion of mystery\, innuendo\, high stakes\, and emotional conflict. Sometimes what’s left unsaid is the cause of pain\, sometimes it’s the source of power. \nPoetry\nWe are interested in showing the range of poetry that exists in the contemporary moment.\nFirst and foremost\, we publish poetry in a wide range of styles and voices that moves us deeply and has us see the world in a new way. \nPlease send a maximum of 3 poems contained within a single document.  Because our volume of submissions is high\, we ask that you submit only once per reading period. \nFiction\nWe are looking for well-crafted\, thought-provoking fiction. Stories that are original\, passionate\, and surprising\, with strong narratives and an implicit understanding of people interacting with each other win us over. The tastes of our editorial team are far-ranging and eclectic. We welcome any and all work that displays the rare gift of storytelling\, that pulls our readers into the narrative and holds them there until the end. New voices and diverse voices are also a keen interest of ours. \nWord count: Submissions should be a maximum of 7\,500 words. Because our volume of submissions is high\, we ask that you send only one submission per reading period. Please\, no previously published work. \nNonfiction\nWe are looking for high-quality nonfiction writing that connects exciting ideas\, tells a compelling story\, and offers a fresh perspective.\nWe favor two kinds of submissions: short\, focused essays between 600 and 1500 words\, and longer\, more reported features of up to 7\,500 words. Please send only one selection at a time.

SUMMARY:PN - Call for Submissions to Snapdragon: A Journal of Art & Healing. Theme: Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:We want you to think about Climate Change: How is the environment changing and why? What are we losing? Gaining? How does climate change impact us individually and globally? What can inspire change or conversation? What’s your/our relationship to the climate? Show us in your poetry and CNF. \n\nPoetry & Creative Nonfiction Submission Guidelines\n\n\n\n\nPlease send us 1-3 poems (one poem per page) or one CNF piece that is no more than 2\,500 words (essay\, journal entry\, excerpt from a memoir or lager piece). \n\n\nWe read and publish work that is in English only. \n\n\nWe no longer take previously published work so send us what hasn’t appeared online or in print. \n\n\nWork should be 12pt text; set in Courier\, Arial\, Times New Roman (CNF – double spaced) \n\n\nWe pay attention to craft\, ease\, beauty\, rawness of your writing. Are we inspired\, moved? Is it thought provoking\, surprising\, inviting? \n\n\nWe only take poems within the submission window and via Duosuma through Duotrope (it’s free to set up an account). \n\n\nYou will be notified the month following your submission. Feel free to make simultaneous submissions but let us know ASAP if what you sent us is selected elsewhere. \n\n\nWe believe a writer should have full control of their work\, so all copyright and publication rights remain with the writer at all times. However\, we appreciate exclusive publication rights for three months after the piece has been published by us to ensure maximum impact. And if your piece appears anywhere after that\, please acknowledge that it was first published in Snapdragon: A Journal of Art & Healing (or “Snapdragon Journal”).  \n\n\n\nWhat We Value\n\n\nWe are a small\, independent lit magazine\, run by volunteers\, that is open to writers and readers of all nationalities\, creeds\, races\, genders and spectrums\, sexualities\, and religions.  \nWe publish emerging and established writers and we are particularly interested in publishing historically marginalized voices and making space for belonging within publishing and storytelling.   \nWe believe that poetry and literature can seem for the elite and be overlooked as a dynamic tool for connection to the self and others. Therefore\, we are proud to be a platform that lifts voices aimed to share vulnerably and honestly knowing that speaking truth heals.  \nWe do not tolerate\, publish\, or promote hate speech\, racism\, or bigotry. \nWe are not responsible for the views of others and we use our platform to shine light on all aspects of life and those within our world.

SUMMARY:PFN - Usawa Literary Review Seeking Submissions on: Appetite
DESCRIPTION:Appetite \nPrimordial appetites – mother’s milk\, a father’s warm touch\, the flashy colours of a toy train\, the appetite to love\, the insatiable curiosity to delve into the mysteries of life. Before we know it\, our appetites turn subliminal: to belong\, to be\, to ignite passion. \nEpicurean\, sartorial or romantic\, how many walls should you scale before your appetite is satiated? What belief systems take away your very right to have the appetite to eat\, drink\, wear\, love\, be? Which insatiable appetites leave you\, or your character starving forever in silence? \nOnly royalty had the right to the tender succulence of jackfruit\, or to purple fabric. And isn’t there that infamous historical anecdote of the suggestion to have cake instead of bread that led to a revolution? \nWhat revolutions are brewing in you? Give in to your appetite to resist\, protest\, unsilence – without restraint\, without censorship. Gulp down this theme of appetite\, allow it to reveal the hungers within you. \nAnd then\, write to us with your stories\, poems\, and essays. We’re waiting\, famished\, for your literary works. \nGeneral Guidelines \nMandatory Contributor Form: Please fill this form for your submission to be read by the Editors. \nSubmission Format: \n\nPlease include “SUBMISSION” along with the genre you are submitting for in the subject line of your email.\nKindly send all submissions in a Word File attached to the body of the email. The text (except for poetry) should be double spaced\, utilizing the Garamond font\, sized 12.\nCompose your brief (~80 words) bio in third person within the email body of your submission. Please ensure to include your photograph and social media handles.\n\nSubmission Limitations: \n\nYou may submit up to one entry for each genre during a given submission period.\n\n\nAlthough we prefer exclusive submissions\, we understand if you choose to make simultaneous submissions. In such cases\, please clearly indicate this in your submission and promptly notify us if another publication accepts your piece before our review. To withdraw your submission\, kindly contact the sectional editor and the Managing Editor.\nPlease be aware that any work published in Usawa cannot be reprinted in any other publication\, whether online or in print\, until six months after the initial publishing date. After this period\, we request that you seek permission from and credit Usawa wherever the piece is republished by contacting our Managing Editor.\n\nPoetry:  \nPlease submit 4-6 poems to our Poetry Editor\, Babitha Marina Justin\, at babitha@usawa.in \nUsawa will be publishing unpublished poems only. However\, poems that have been shared on the author’s social media are acceptable. If you have previously published work that strongly resonates with our theme kindly share the same with the Editor stating why you would like the piece to be considered. The body of editors will review it collectively and take a decision accordingly. \nShort Fiction:\n\nSubmit short fiction of length up to 5000 words to our Fiction Editors\, Smita Sahay\, at smita@usawa.in and\, Kinshuk Gupta\, at kinshuk@usawa.in \nWhile we primarily seek literary fiction\, exceptional genre fiction is also welcome. \nNon-Fiction  \nSubmit non fiction of length up to 5000 words to our Non Fiction Editor\, Namrata Pathak\, at namrata@usawa.in. \nWe are looking for pieces that reflect honesty of the experience\, personal or from the point of witness. Show us the universality of the personal\, the ingredients that bind us all as human\, one. Vulnerability\, curiosity. An evident love for the language\, care for the sentence and structure\, and attention to detail. We do expect pieces to reflect craft but give us authenticity to go with it. Simply put\, we may pick a piece that is honest over one that glorifies technique. \nIf addressing a topical issue\, consider contacting the editor for timely consideration.

SUMMARY:PFN - Compass Rose Literary Journal Seeking Submissions on Syncopation
DESCRIPTION:Guidelines\nPoetry \n– Submit up to 6 poems\, no length limits\, in one document (.doc or .docx) \nFlash Prose \n– Limit 500 words; submit up to 3 pieces\, max 500 wds each\, in one document (.doc or .docx) \nOur spring issue “Syncopation” marks our second year in publication and kicks off the first of four issues this year to contemplate the interplay between sound\, visual stimuli\, the written word\, and lived experience. In 2024\, we turn our lens to these multiform layers that dynamically shape our perception and expression alike. \nFor Issue 5 “Syncopation” specifically\, we invite contributors to explore the multitudes of this musical form and how it reflects back into our lives. On a literal level\, syncopation layers one or more disparate rhythm schemes into the same musical piece or segment. A syncopated rhythm can disrupt\, accentuate\, and/or obscure the initial theme\, bringing with it any combination of surprise\, whimsy\, color\, clarity\, confusion\, stark and/or complex emotion. What story do these layers tell? Where do we see and feel syncopation\, within and beyond music? How do we experience syncopation in everyday life\, society\, socially? How do we express this visually? \nThese are just a few initial prompts; we look forward to reading and viewing your own takes on this issue’s theme! \n  \nAuthors retain all rights \nWe encourage simultaneous submissions (please notify us if your piece is accepted elsewhere) \nWe consider previously published material; please label it as such \nWe particularly welcome submissions from traditionally marginalized voices\, including BIPOC\, LGBTQ+\, and the neurodivergent \nWe do not currently pay our contributors; we hope to in the future

SUMMARY:P - Rattle Seeking Submissions in a Tribute to Musicians

We no longer publish essays\, but always include a contributor notes section\, where we ask in this case why you enjoy writing prompt poems. \nYou may submit up to four previously uncurated poems (or pages of short poems) at the same time\, either in a single file or up to four files. Do not include your name or contact info within the file content.
