SUMMARY:P - Harbor Review Seeking Poems for their Summer Issue #15. Theme : (Sub)liminal
DESCRIPTION:This issue will explore the hidden layers of thought and emotion that shape our perceptions and experiences. Subliminal messaging\, often unnoticed and unacknowledged\, influences our beliefs\, desires\, and interactions in profound ways. Poets are invited to uncover the nuances of what lies beneath the surface of consciousness\, examining how unspoken truths and subconscious impulses can manifest in our lives.  \nThe liminal can represent those fleeting moments of change\, such as the twilight between day and night\, or the emotional space between joy and sorrow. These transitional phases often evoke feelings of uncertainty and possibility\, mirroring the subtle nudges of subliminal messaging that guide us without our full awareness. \nSend 1-3 poems in one document as a pdf or word document during our submission window. Include a short bio in your cover letter. The theme for issue #15 is “(Sub)liminal.” \n\nAll honorarium payments to contributors and prize winners will be paid through PayPal. Sorry\, no exceptions.

SUMMARY:PFN - NonBinary Review Seeking Submissions on the Theme of : Epiphany
DESCRIPTION:NonBinary Review is currently open for submissions on the theme of EPIPHANY. \nIt’s a flash of inspiration. It’s a slow realization of something that was in front of you the whole time. It’s seeing something familiar from an entirely unexpected angle. We have these sudden flashes of inspiration all the time – some as subtle as discovering you like tea with honey\, others as momentous as realizing that your idea for a new invention could change the world. \nWe’re looking for speculative takes on epiphany\, from the realization that television is all real and true\, to the discovery that the life you live in your dreams is your real life\, and this one is the dream. We want to be just as surprised as your narrators by the things they discover and where those discoveries lead them. \nWe’re NOT looking for “I realized I hated my spouse so I left and my life got better” stories\, sexual coming of age stories\, or anything else that doesn’t fit the speculative genre. \nIMPORTANT NOTICE\nZoetic Press does not accept AI generated content. If our editors judge that your content is AI-generated\, it will be declined. \nAll submissions must have a clear relationship to our theme and be submitted in 12pt Times New Roman\, or they will be rejected. Submitters may include up to THREE poems per submission\, but each must be a separate file. NonBinary Review pays a $10 flat fee for poetry. \nIf your work was accepted for Issue #38: Rituals or Issue #39: Mistaken Identity\, we’re sorry\, but we cannot accept your work at this time (see our general guidelines.) \nWe have different teams evaluating poetry\, prose\, and art. If you submit to the wrong genre\, your submission will be declined. \nPoetry\nAll submissions must have a clear relationship to our theme and be submitted in 12pt Times New Roman\, or they will be rejected. Submitters may include up to THREE poems per submission\, but each must be a separate file. NonBinary Review pays a $10 flat fee for poetry. \nProse\nAll submissions must have a clear relationship to our theme\, and be double-spaced in 12pt Times New Roman or they will be rejected. NonBinary Review  pays 1¢ per word for prose with a limit of 3000 words.

SUMMARY:FN - Special Call for descant 2025. Theme: Memory Mining
DESCRIPTION:Memory is a fickle beast—comforting one moment\, deceiving the next. It allows us to relive shared experiences\, yet it can also blur the lines between what is real and what is fabricated. In our post-truth era\, where narratives are shaped by perception and social media algorithms\, memory takes on a life of its own. \nHave you and someone else experienced the same event but recalled it in completely different ways? Do you find yourself second-guessing what is a fact and what is fiction within the stories you consume? If you could rewrite the past\, how would truth transform into fiction? Give us your wildly true tales of memory or distorted tales of fiction that leave us questioning what is real and what is imagined. \nWe invite you to share your truth\, whatever that may be\, however memory has shaped it. \nSubmissions are open for Memory Mining. Please indicate whether your work is Fiction or Creative Nonfiction when submitting. \nWriters must confirm that work accepted by descant has not been previously published and that they will credit descant as the original publisher whenever and wherever else the work may be placed. \ndescant seeks high-quality work in either innovative or traditional forms. We usually prefer fiction to be 5000 words or fewer\, but we do\, however\, occasionally accept submissions exceeding this length. descant specifies no particular subject matter or style. Please submit only one story.

SUMMARY:PFN - Men Matters Online Journal (MMOJ) Seeking Submissions on The Bachelor Spectrum: Explorations of Masculinity Outside Marriage
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean for a man to navigate the world as a bachelor? In the 21st century\, marriage rates have fallen dramatically across many countries. While the proportion of men (and women) who will never marry increases\, their counterparts who do eventually tie the knot are doing so later in life – and thus experiencing a prolonged period of bachelorhood. \nIt is worth noting\, of course\, that this is not an entirely modern phenomenon. There have always been men who remained lifelong bachelors\, whether due to choice\, circumstance\, or a combination of factors. Poverty\, economic uncertainty\, and long-term incarceration are perennial obstacles to marriage and fatherhood\, for example. On the other hand\, men of the past have also forsaken or postponed marriage via initiation into particular religious orders and military regiments. \nFrom the Knights Templar to Japan’s “herbivore men”\, the bachelor is often a complex figure caught in the shifting tides of gender norms\, cultural flux\, and sociohistorical change. We invite poets\, fiction writers\, and creative-non-fiction writers to explore the multifaceted lives of unmarried men across the spectrum of identity—straight\, queer\, cis\, trans\, and beyond. \n  \nWe are seeking works that delve into: \n\nThe historical and cultural evolution of bachelorhood.\nThe joys and struggles of single life in contemporary society.\nThe intersections of masculinity\, queerness\, and bachelorhood.\nForms of attachment and fatherhood outside of marriage (e.g. cohabitation\, single fathers\, baby daddies)\nGlobal and cultural variations in the perception of unmarried men\, including the unique roles of Hindu sannyasis and yogis\, as well as Christian clergy\, Buddhist monks\, and other religious ascetics who remain single and celibate as part of their spiritual vocations. These men embody bachelorhood not as a state of independence\, but as a devotion to faith\, meditation\, and service\, challenging societal norms surrounding partnership and masculinity.\nMedia portrayals and personal experiences that challenge or embrace traditional tropes.\nLoneliness\, freedom\, intimacy\, and the search for self in the absence of partnership.\n\n  \nWe welcome works that engage with these themes in fresh\, thought-provoking ways. Whether you offer a lyrical ode to solitude\, a sharp critique of societal norms\, or a story that redefines what it means to be a bachelor\, we want to hear from you. \nPublication date: Last week of June 2025 \nSUBMISSION GUIDELINES \nPlease submit your manuscript as a Word Document. The text of your work should be in Garamond\, 12-point size. Manuscripts should have 1.5 spacing on A4-sized paper with margins of 1.25” (right and left) and 1” (top and bottom). \nPoetry: \nUp to 5 poems. There is no minimum or maximum word limit but poems that run up to a maximum of 40 lines are preferred. \nFiction and Creative Non-Fiction: \nA single work\, maximum of 5\,000 words. \n  \nHow to submit your work: \nSubmit your work through email: menmattersonlinejournal@gmail.com In the email cover letter please indicate that this is an original and unpublished work that is being submitted. \nAttach your individual submissions in separate attachments. Make sure there are no personal details in the files containing the submissions. \nIn a separate file provide a brief biography in third person (maximum 100 words) \nFile format: Word Document. The text of your work should be in Garamond (12 point size)\, with 1.5 spacing. \nSimultaneous submissions are welcome. It is your responsibility to inform us in time when the work submitted here is accepted somewhere else.

SUMMARY:PFN - Call for Submissions to Icebreakers Lit. Theme: Close Encounters
DESCRIPTION:Theme (Close Encounters) \nIcebreakers wants your almost\, maybes. Your brushes with the other worldly. Your longings. Send us your work that explores your interpretation of “close encounters” (Aliens in no way required. Though of course we still love them <3 ). \nCollaboration \nAt our minty liquid core\, Icebreakers is about fostering connection within the lit community. As such\, general and themed submissions should  be the work of two or more authors / artists (no max). If you’re coming to the party with collaborators already in mind\, great! If not\, please  see our “spin the bottle” opportunity here. \nWhat we accept \nIcebreakers is interested in poetry\, flash\, fiction\, essays\, creative nonfiction (CNF)\, that weird little thing you wrote in your notes app but don’t know what to call\, etc. We want your art\, and we know that art comes in many glorious forms. We aren’t too picky about rules\, but to keep this reasonable\, here are a few requests: \n\nPoetry: up to 3 pieces in any form\, any length\nMicro Fiction & CNF: 1 piece\, 300 words or less\nFlash Fiction & CNF: 1 piece\, 1000 words or less\nFiction\, CNF\, & Hybrids: 1 piece\, 2500 words or less\n\nWe also accept simultaneous submissions and previously published work. Just let us know if you’re published elsewhere so we can do a little celebratory dance with you.\nCover letter and bios \nWe love getting to know you\, but no need to be super formal. Most importantly\, please include the names of all collaborators. Also include a publication-ready bio for each contributor with your social media handles. One to three sentences should do the trick. If you would rather collaborate on a single amalgamated bio\, that’s cool\, too!\nOther stuff \nYou may find yourself on the submissions portal of a strange literary magazine\, with a beautiful poem or story\, and you may ask yourself\, “Well\, how did I get here?” And you may ask yourself\, “Who the hell are these Icebreakers people?” And you may ask yourself\, “What do they want from me??!” If that’s the case\, hop on over to our website for more info.
