In November 2023 we will publish our third annual issue of Quaker Fiction. It’s open to all genres—crime, fantasy, romance, science fiction and horror, young adult, and more. Surprise us with your work!
We don’t have any preferences topically or in terms of style. We’re simply looking for the best. Dazzle us, take chances, and be bold.
Our favourite poems are the unexpected kind. We love free verse poems that take familiar situations and turn them on their head, using unusual metaphors and drawing parallels no one else would see.
We provide a prompt to get you started, but where the story goes from there is entirely up to you.
We have no genre expectations, just send us something that is utterly you – from beauty to beast, creative non-fiction to allegorical fairy tales – we just want to revel in the potency of your voice.
We’re seeking work about the end. Send us your take on the end of a meal, the close of a journey, the end of life, or anything else.
Open to submissions on any theme, however, we are particularly interested in pieces that challenge us – that redefine the parameters of form, concept and technique
Past winning pieces have reflected upon both social and political structures, human relationships and experiences. They have pushed the boundaries of imagination – providing new possibilities and ideas.
Letter Review believes in the power of literature, and in the importance and magic of new writing.
A wonderful opportunity for emerging writers to demonstrate their ability and secure publication, and an exciting arena in which established writers can showcase new work and build their reputations.
Any and all works which convey information about the real world are welcome, and subjective conclusions are certainly encouraged

Our themes are intentionally vague to leave the concept up to the writer’s interpretation.
Show us truth camouflaged by falsehoods, the blurred line between fact and fiction, or the entanglement of half-truths and illusions.
Parabola is a quarterly journal devoted to the exploration of the quest for meaning as it is expressed in the world’s myths, symbols, and religious traditions, with particular emphasis on the relationship between this store of wisdom and our modern life.
The name Superpresent conveys multiple meanings. It could be something very much in the here and now, or something beyond the present state of being or thinking, or something surreal, or it could simply be a great and wonderful gift.
Send us your red, reddening, and red-focused poems and short prose.
In decay, there is devotion. Through flesh, we express our desire. How does your ButchFemme devotion become realized in the flesh?
Flash 405 is Exposition Review’s multi-genre flash competition, awarding prizes and online publication to the winners!
Memories can stop us dead in our tracks with their epiphanies. Memories can also be as fragile + fleeting as words that hang for a moment before our face in the cold of a winter’s breath.
We want your philosophical musings on memory
