We're putting together a feast of words for our 4th contest issue. For this call, we're looking for stories, essays, and poems that feature food.
For our spring 2025 issue, we've chosen the theme of ILLUSION
Love and loss go hand in hand: nothing lasts forever, and to love anything – or anyone – is to know that love will be lost one day.
We are seeking work that luxuriates in petite miracles; catalogues of tiny happinesses; the captured essence of little treats. We're seeking work that celebrates the small things worth living for.
We want your weird, wonderful, bizarre, impossible stories of mistaken identity.
Are you tempted to discover what secrets the waters hold or do you feel safer with your feet planted in the sand on shore?
Your submission must include Paris, whether as a memory, wishful thinking, an anecdote, the setting for your story or poem, a place of importance, or where you live or holiday …
Even an excellent literary magazine doesn't necessarily last forever. There are quite a few journals the After Happy Hour editors used to read (or were published in) that now no longer exist--and that's a shame, because they published great stuff that people should still be able to read.
We want your poetry and prose to have a stranger as the focal point of the writing, but we want to see your take on Strangers.
