SUMMARY:PFN - 3Elements Literary Review Seeking Submissions with "Prophecy\, Attic\, and Isolation" for the Spring Issue
DESCRIPTION:Submission Guidelines\nThe three elements for the current submission period are: Prophecy\, attic\, isolation. \n\nDue February 28\, 2025\, for our spring issue\, no. 46.\n\n\nWhat does 3Elements enjoy reading?\nWe appreciate good writing in any genre. We especially like edgy writing that offers insight into darkness. We prefer character-driven stories as opposed to plot-driven ones. We relish a piece with a great deal of heart and more than a little bit of Truth (note the capital “T”). We want to read a story that makes us feel edified or philosophical or amused or creeped out or angry or melancholy or inspired or\, best yet\, all of these things together. \nWe find stories that include gratuitous violence distasteful. Sexism\, racism\, or other forms of intolerance are intolerable to us. That said\, you can certainly reveal a character through his/her prejudices; just don’t use a story to perpetuate negative stereotypes or ignorance. The world is already bursting with both. \nUsing the elements\n3Elements Literary Review  is a themed literary journal\, and all THREE elements (the specific words\, Prophecy\, attic\, isolation—art & photography excluded) given for the submission period must be included in your story or poem for your work to be considered for publication. NO EXCEPTIONS WHATSOEVER. \nYour story or poem doesn’t have to be about the three elements or even revolve around them; simply use your imagination to create whatever you want. You can use any form of the words/elements for the given submission period. For example\, if the elements are: Flash\, Whimsy\, and Seizure; we would accept the usage of Flashed\, Whimsical\, and Seizures \nHow to submit your work\nWe will only accept previously unpublished (including digital/online content) work submitted to us through Submittable. You can easily submit material to us from our Submit page. Any work that is sent to us as an attachment\, or in the body of an email\, through our ‘Contact’ page\, or any other way outside of Submittable will automatically be declined. \nLength\nThere is no minimum word count\, but please keep your fiction and nonfiction submissions under 3\,500 words. Poetry must be under two typed pages. \nBio\nIf you’re accepted for publication in 3Elements Literary Review\, we\, as well as the readers of our publication will naturally want to know a little more about you\, as well as your writing background\, so providing us with a bio is very helpful!

SUMMARY:PN - Yellow Arrow Journal Seeking Submissions on the Theme: Unfurl
DESCRIPTION:UNFURL\n: to release from a furled\, coiled\, or wrapped state\n: to open out from or as if from a furled state\n: to unfold \nThe issue will be released in May. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis issue of Yellow Arrow Journal explores the process people go through when finding and transforming into their authentic selves. UNFURL will be a survey of the unique journeys people take when experiencing and undergoing self-transformation\, journeys that all start with a little fire\, a desire\, deep inside. \nSubmissions Guidelines\n\n\nAccepted submissions include creative nonfiction and poetry by authors identifying as women. \n\n\nSubmissions must relate to the theme UNFURL\, as interpreted by the author\, using provided guiding questions (these will change for each theme). \n\n\nWhat role did community play in finding yourself? \n\n\nHow has your sense of self changed due to your transformation? What about your relationships? \n\n\nWhat did you find along the way? \n\n\nWhat do you still need to be authentically you? \n\n\nWas there something that forced you to be a different version of yourself? How did you internalize it? \n\n\n\n\nCreative nonfiction (1 submission per author per issue) must be between 100 and 2\,000 words. Poetry (up to 2 poems per author per issue\, grouped into a single document) may be any length. \n\n\nSubmissions do not need to be in English but must include an English translation. \n\n\nNo previously published work will be accepted at this time—this includes all printed and online material; simultaneous submissions are okay but please let us know when you send in your submission(s) and if a submission is published elsewhere in the interim\, email submissions@yellowarrowpublishing.com immediately. \n\n\nAre You Ready to Submit?\nTo submit to UNFURL (Vol. X\, No. 1\, spring 2025)\, send an email to submissions@yellowarrowpublishing.com and include: \n\n\nSubject: Vol. #\, No. # Theme – type of submission [nonfiction\, poetry\, or cover art] (required) \n\n\nYour full name (and name you would want Yellow Arrow to use)\, nationality\, and current city/state/country of residence (required) \n\n\nOur writers and readers come from all walks of life and so do we. We are taking steps across our portfolio to increase representation and give greater visibility to the voices of underrepresented women-identifying storytellers. If you are comfortable doing so\, please share with us which underrepresented communities you identify with that may make you uniquely positioned to connect with a particular group of readers (optional) \n\n\nYour pronouns and age (optional) \n\n\nWhere you heard about us (optional) \n\n\nAuthors/artists should only submit one type of submission per issue; no agents. \nNote that submissions are anonymously reviewed in-house; the information you provide above is used only to better understand the composition of our audience. \nAttach your submission to your email. Accepted files for creative nonfiction and poetry submissions include .doc/.docx\, .rtf\, or .pdf (.doc/.docx preferred)—use minimal document styling and do not include identifying information (only within your email). Accepted files for cover art include .jpeg/.jpg\, .tiff/.tif\, .gif\, .eps\, or .psd—a low resolution is preferable at this time. \nBy sending your submission you agree to the following statements: \n\n\nYou are a writer or artist who identifies as a woman \n\n\nYou have completely read and submitted within the guidelines. \n\n\nDue to the volume of submissions and the nature of our submission process\, authors/artists will not receive an email confirming receipt of submission. Rather\, all who submit within the guidelines\, whether accepted to the next issue or not\, will receive an email after submissions have closed—please do not email us to inquire about a submission.

SUMMARY:PFN - Call for Submissions to Exist Otherwise Literary Journal Issue 14. Theme: We Are Not Going Back!
DESCRIPTION:To be honest\, I posted a theme and prompt for Issue 14 a couple weeks before the election. But I completely freaked out when I woke up Nov. 6 and saw the election results. I was shocked and horrified. I was also triggered. I felt shame and betrayal at what this country has become. I had to take some time off and I had to re-focus. \nIssue 14 will be a reaction\, a declaration of resistance\, a doubling down of queer and trans voices. Claude Cahun and her partner\, Marcel Moore\, were strident anti-fascists. They were so active in the resistance that they were captured\, imprisoned\, and sentenced to death. They only escaped that fate by the end of the war. So here’s the new theme for 14: \nWe Are Not Going Back!\n  \nWhat to Submit\nWriting\nWe accept any kind of written work: poetry\, prose\, essays\, fiction\, creative non-fiction\, scripts\, hybrid\, experimental writing\, whatever. \n500 Words or Less: You may submit up to three (3) per issue. \n500-1000 Words: You may submit up to one (1) per issue. \nWhat Not to Submit\n\nDon’t submit work that you do not have the rights to.\nErotica is fine\, but nothing explicit.\nWe appreciate horror as a genre\, but it’s not what we’re looking for.\nNo hate\, racism\, sexism\, misogyny\, transphobia\, torture\, gratuitous violence\, or anything that aspires to cause harm.\n\nHow to Submit\nWhat follows are our requirements for submissions of work to us. We will not typically reject a submission if it doesn’t meet these requirements exactly. However\, any contributor who consistently submits work that is sloppy or hard to understand\, is less likely to receive a notice of acceptance. \nWe require submissions to come from our Submission Form. This allows us to better keep track of them. \nWriting Submissions Format\nWe accept works submitted in plain text\, .rtf\, .doc\, .docx\, or .pdf. \nIf your work requires any special formatting\, pdf is suggested. In some cases\, it might make sense to send your work as an image\, in which case\, jpg is fine. \nStyle Guide for Writing Submissions\n\nTypeface – The only thing we care about is that we can read your work with ease and clarity. Serif and Sans Serif are both fine\, but please use something common\, such as Times or Helvetica.\nType size – Goldilocks! (Not too small\, not too large.) 11-13 points is ideal.\nPage Size – We don’t care\, as long as the work is readable.\nMargins – We don’t care\, as long as the work is readable.\nLine Spacing (Leading) – We don’t care\, as long as the work is readable.\nType & Background Color – Black on white is preferred.\nSpecial Situations – Some contemporary writing breaks conventions and incorporates elements of visual art and/or experimentation. This is wonderful. The use of specialized fonts\, typefaces\, or type sizing\, mixed typefaces\, special characters\, etc. is all the more reason to submit work in PDF or JPG format. We reserve the right to treat some of these types of work as text-based\, and some as visual art. But we can’t make any broad guidelines here. These kinds of works will necessarily involve conversations between author and publisher so that decisions can be made jointly.\n\nWritten work will be formatted and displayed according to our internal style guide. Any exceptions to this must be negotiated on an individual basis. \n\nPayment\n\nWe pay $15 per published written work.\nPayment is issued within 1-3 days of publishing.\n\nWe can only guarantee payment through Paypal or Venmo. If you are unable to use either of those\, let us know ahead of time and we’ll try to work something out. \n\nRights\nUpon completion of the Contributor Agreement (sent by email with notice of acceptance)\, we reserve the right to publish your submitted work on this site\, and in a downloadable PDF version of the issue. Both of these shall remain available here for a minimum of 60 days from the publish date. \nOur right to publish your work is not exclusive.
