SUMMARY:PFN - Fox Tales Contests: Black Fox Accepting Submissions for the Spring 2025 Fox Tales Prize. Theme: Mixed Messages
DESCRIPTION:Black Fox is accepting submissions for our Spring 2025 Fox Tales Prize. The theme for this round is “Mixed Messages.” We are open to loose interpretations of the theme in any genre\, as always. \nAs writers\, we love working with words\, but what happens when they fail us? We are asking writers to explore the chaos\, heartbreak\, and transformation that can come from misunderstandings\, made-up truths\, and intentions gone wrong. We’re looking for work about how missed connections can influence outcomes\, where silence appears to speak louder than words\, or where a simple miscalculation in communication leads to unforeseen consequences. We are always interested in all kinds of work. Whether it’s a humorous mix-up\, disastrous failure\, or the quiet tension of words left unsaid\, the theme of miscommunication should be at the heart of your work. \nPlease submit your strongest fiction\, nonfiction\, or poetry\, and we will choose one winner that we feel interprets the theme best. The prize is $325 and print publication in the Summer 2025 issue. All submissions are considered for print publication in the Summer 2025 issue. The contest entry fee is $12\, and submissions must be submitted before midnight (EST) on June 1\, 2025. \nPlease make sure your manuscript is double-spaced with 12-point font. Submissions should be no more than 5\,000 words. For poetry\, send up to three poems in the same document. For flash fiction\, send up to two stories in the same document. Author’s name and page number should appear in the top right-hand corner of every page. We also ask that you specify the category/genre of your work in the cover letter. Please see our Submission Guidelines before submitting. \nWe will select a winner by the beginning of August 2025\, and each entrant will receive a response. \nPlease DO NOT submit work that isn’t ready. Take your time and polish your work to the best of your ability before sending it in. No changes can be made to your submission after we receive it. \n***Writers\, please note that entry fees and feedback fees are non-refundable\, and payment to the winner is awarded via PayPal. We reserve the right to extend the contest deadline if necessary.*** \nThe Black Fox team looks forward to reading your wonderful submissions! \nSubmission fee: $12

SUMMARY:N - HerStry is Seeking Redemption Stories
DESCRIPTION:Redemption Stories\nIn July we’re thinking about radical forgiveness. For ourselves and for others. How have you found redemption in this world? Come back from the edge after nearly losing it all? How have you made up with someone you thought you could never forgive? Or maybe you are still seeking redemption. Maybe you can’t let the person who hurt you back into your life. Maybe your redemption has actually come in the form of letting go. \n** HerStry is always happy to share stories anonymously—if your story is selected for publication\, simply let your editor know you would not like your name shared ** \nTHE RULES:  \n\nAll stories must be true and about you.\nStories must follow the theme in some way\, interpretations can be wide.\nStories must stay around 3\,000 words.\nDocuments should be double spaced\, 12Pt font with 1 inch margins and in an easy to read font. Submissions not following these guidelines are subject to disqualification. Our editors read a lot of work\, please have mercy on our eyes.\nSubmissions must be in .doc or .docx form—we do not accept PDFs.\nStories are read blind. Please DO NOT put any identifying material on your manuscript. Manuscripts that don’t follow this rule will be automatically disqualified without being read. We realize personal essays may contain your name; a first name is fine.\nPlease include a third person bio. Cover letters are fine\, but not necessary (we don’t read them\, we’re more interested in what you’ve written).\nPlease submit only once per theme.\nWe do not accept previously published stories.\n\nHerStry centers the experiences of women identifying persons. We’re looking for work from bigender/polygender persons\, cisgender women\, intergender persons/intersex persons\, nonbinary persons/gender non-conforming persons\, transgender women/transfeminine persons\, two spirit.
