SUMMARY:PFN - Call for Submissions to Metonym Literary Journal. Theme: Redemption
DESCRIPTION:Spring 2026 Issue Theme: Redemption \nRedemption is to be lost and then found\, to forgive when wronged. It is the flowers that bloom on old battlefields\, the sunrises after a night of silent tears. At some point\, we all need redemption. A chance to begin again. A new beginning allows us to rewrite our story and make a different ending. Redemption not only atones for the wrongs of the past but brings renewal to the present and fuels the fire of the future. Everyone deserves a second chance\, but that chance is not always freely given. How does redemption affect the human experience– or does it not? \nThis year at Metonym\, our staff deliberately chose redemption as our theme because it is a concept that touches all people\, for better or worse. Join us as we explore the nuances of this theme in our Spring 2026 edition. \nSubmissions must be previously unpublished work.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 19th\, 2025 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 Submissions to Thin Air Magazine. Theme: Systems
DESCRIPTION:Theme: SYSTEMS. In the act of living\, we are all part of numerous interconnected  systems. In issue 32\, we are interested in work that reflects on the  systems we unearth around us. These can be found everywhere\, in our  communities\, our relationships\, our governments or politicians\, in  systems of oppression or injustice\, systems of support\, in ecosystems\,  within class systems\, our human bodies\, or systems of data and  technology. These are just a sample of some systems we are part of.  Living as we are\, we are interwoven and defined by the systems we  support\, fight against\, and ponder about. \nOften by writing you are reflecting on a system or part of the world  that matters to you. For issue 32\, we’re interested in art that pushes  at the systems that we are part of\, willing or unwilling\, and remarks on  the world around us. As Thin Air continues to grow\, we invite you to  submit your pieces that engage with your theme: Systems. \nIf you have already submitted a piece\, don’t worry! All art interacts with systems through the process of its creation alone. \nSubmitting comes with a $3.00 reading fee. In an effort to minimize barriers and encourage work from marginalized writers\, we will wave this fee upon request at our discretion. \nPlease review our general and genre-specific guidelines below: \n\nWe accept fiction and nonfiction up to 3\,000 words.\nWe accept up to three poems in one document totaling five or fewer pages.\nWe only consider unpublished work. Please do not submit material previously published in anthologies\, chapbooks\, online\, or on personal websites (including FB\, Twitter/X\, Insta\, Flickr\, blogs\, etc.)\nWe accept simultaneous submissions. If any part of your submission is selected for publication elsewhere\, please notify us immediately using Submittable.\nIn an effort to encourage submissions from both established and emerging writers with diverse voices\, we read all submissions blind. Do not include any identifying information within your submission.\nThin Air Magazine does not accept work from anyone affiliated with Northern Arizona University within the last 7 years.\nThin Air Magazine aims to respond to your submission within 3-5 months. If you submit April-August\, know that we likely won’t be able to respond until September when school is back in session. We appreciate your patience! Our staff is a volunteer-graduate-student-run magazine and we strive to read every submission carefully before making a decision.\n\nFormatting Specifications: \n\nPlease use Times New Roman\, 12pt.\, double-spaced\, 1 inch margins for all submissions except poetry\, which should remain single-spaced.\nINCLUDE page numbers and a word count at the top of your manuscript.\nDO NOT INCLUDE your name/identifiers in your manuscript.\nIf the unique format of your submission is critical to the piece\, please feel free to keep your unique formatting.\nNote that we may have to alter format for printing due to physical restraints and requirements.\n\nCopyright: We ask for first North American serial rights for work published in Thin Air Magazine. Copyright is retained by the author at all times. \n\nPoetry\nFormatting: Please send us up to three poems in one document totaling five or fewer pages.

DO NOT INCLUDE your name/identifiers in your manuscript.  If the unique format of your submission is critical to the piece\, please feel free to keep your unique formatting. \nAesthetic Statement: At Thin Air Magazine\, we seek poetry that opens up new experiences we can empathize with\, a thread of connection that pulls you in. We applaud artists unafraid to dive into painful memories and showcase how we grow as humans. Our upcoming theme\, Systems\, explores the impacts of our systems\, and how those may reflect on us\, our bodies\, our relationships\, our environment\, our pasts\, our futures. We believe poetry is a love language and a dagger that holds clarity\, relatability\, a playful spirit\, and tackles feelings of what is hardest to put into words. \nFiction and Nonfiction\nFormatting: We accept fiction up to 3\,000 words. We will consider novel excerpts as long as they can stand alone. Stories that contain visuals or art are welcome as long as you own the copyrights.  We may accept stories without accepting the art.\nPlease use fonts like Times New Roman/Calibri/Arial\, 12pt.\, double spaced\, 1 inch margins.  INCLUDE page numbers and a word count at the top of your manuscript.  DO NOT INCLUDE your name/identifiers in your manuscript.  If the unique format of your submission is critical to the piece\, please feel free to keep your unique formatting. \nAesthetic Statement: In light of recent change throughout the world\, Thin Air is looking for pieces about what brings us together and pushes us apart. Often by writing you are reflecting on a system or part of the world that matters to you. For issue 32\, we’re interested in art that pushes at the systems that we are part of\, willing or unwilling\, and remarks on the world around us. \n  \nSubmission Expectations \nThin Air has a responsibility to build a safe\, diverse community for contributors and readers alike. We have no tolerance for writing that is racist\, sexist\, homophobic\, transphobic\, ableist\, body shaming\, Islamophobic\, anti-semitic\, or in any other way cruel. Your writing may\, and in fact is encouraged to\, grapple productively with these subjects. Do not send us unchecked bigotry or hate speech. \nAccountability \nThin Air is not and will never be perfect\, but that doesn’t mean we won’t try. We strive to be an active voice for universal equity\, and we commit to using our position in the literary world to uplift historically underrepresented voices and fight for the decolonization of literary magazines. If you notice we have missed the mark on anything\, no matter how small\, please reach out to us at thinairlitmag@gmail.com. We thank you for your help on our path to becoming our best selves. \n  \nSubmission fee: $3
