SUMMARY:PFN - Call for Submissions to Metonym Literary Journal on the Theme of Reflection
DESCRIPTION:Spring 2025 Issue Theme: Reflection \nThe sun’s rays bouncing off of the ripples of a lake\, recalling memories of childhood\, passing by a mirror. Whether it be abstract or literal\, internal or communal\, reflection allows us to return to an idea or a time with a new perspective. It permeates everything we experience\, allowing us to see purpose or meaning that was previously hidden to us at the time\, or makes clear the futility of that concept or moment. Reflection isn’t limited to one idea or image- it is where art begins. What have your reflections looked like? How has your perspective allowed you to reflect on your life or others? Metonym is seeking submissions of short fiction\, creative nonfiction and poetry that capture the theme of reflection in all of its nuance and diversity. \nSubmissions must be previously unpublished work. Simultaneous submissions will be considered as long as we are notified immediately if the piece is accepted elsewhere. Work that will be considered from an author includes: \n\n1-4 poems on the same submission\, each under two pages long\nFiction or creative non-fiction up to 1\,500 words\n\nThough your name will be attributed to your work when published\, Metonym editors review each piece as a blind submission. Please do not include any identifying information in your manuscript\, including within the file name or anywhere on the document. Works containing personal identifying information (including\, but not limited to: names\, phone numbers\, emails\, or physical addresses) will be disqualified.  \nWith the current surge of Artificial Intelligence being implemented in future technology\, Metonym does not accept works that are AI generated\, whether it be art or manuscript. We believe that the best work comes from original\, authentic pieces that speak from the artist themselves. Any submissions that are AI generated will result in disqualification. \nSubmissions close October 20th\, 2024 at 11:59pm\, PST \nOur current response time varies and will be longer if your work is under serious consideration\, but acceptance and rejection notifications will generally be sent out by the end of December each calendar year. Please be patient! We are a small\, hard-working staff and we want to give every piece the time it deserves. \nIf you are accepted\, we will send you a free copy of the finished journal in Spring.

SUMMARY:PFN - Call for Submssions to The FruitSlice: A Queer Quarterly on the Theme of: Rituals
DESCRIPTION:Submissions are restricted to LGBTQ+ creators. \n\n\n\n\nTHIS ISSUE’S THEME IS:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRituals \nIn a world where traditions often feel automatic—where we find ourselves asking\, Why do we do this?—there’s something powerful in reclaiming\, recreating\, and reimagining the meaning behind the rituals we choose to carry forward. \nSo much of what we do has become habitual\, disconnected from its origins. From the way we celebrate milestones to the ways we gather as a community\, rituals define and reinforce our identities. When we start asking why we do the things we do… sometimes the answers disturb us\, sometimes they connect us. But in the end\, rituals are how we give meaning to the everyday. \nAs a community\, we’ve been excluded from certain rituals. Why do we follow traditions that were never meant for us? \nWhat does it mean to embrace and subvert the rituals handed to us? How do we engage in these acts of Trans*formation? We believe that rituals have the power to both bind and liberate us. \nThis issue is an invitation to explore the rituals in your life and in our collective lives. What do we inherit\, and what do we build? Why do we kiss under the mistletoe and how can we infuse the everyday with our own kind of magic? \nWe are asking why we follow certain traditions and whether they still serve us. How can we create new rituals that affirm our truths rather than confining us to a heteronormative script? \nWe want to hear about the rituals that matter to you—whether they’re personal or communal\, practical or spiritual. What rituals do you live by\, reject\, or reimagine? \nWhat new rituals will you create\, and how will they shape the world we live in? \nSubmission Guidelines\nSubmission Fee: There is no fee to submit. \nPayment: At this time\, we cannot offer payment for published work. \nPreferred Format: \n\n\nFile Naming: Name your file in this format: LastNameFirstName_PieceTitle. \n\n\nDocument Format: At the top of your document\, include a word count\, genre description\, and any relevant content warnings. Please note: We reserve the right to add content warnings to your work when published. \n\n\nWord Limit: We recommend keeping written pieces under 5 pages or under 1500 words. \nMultiple Submissions: There’s no limit to the number of pieces you can submit. However\, please submit one work per submission form. Each piece should be submitted separately to ensure it’s properly reviewed. \nMediums: We accept all printable mediums. If you’re unsure whether your piece fits\, feel free to submit\, and we’ll review it. We recommend becoming familiar with our tone and style by reading through our past issues\, available digitally for free\, and checking out our FAQ for more details on what we’re looking for.
