SUMMARY:P - Call for Submissions to Last Leaves Magazine.  Theme: "Story"
DESCRIPTION:Submission Guidelines\n\n\nSubmissions are OPEN! \n​Theme for Issue 8: Story \n​We want the truth. Tell us about yourself\, your life. Moments where you realized you said the wrong thing\, did the right thing\, or fell short when you could have stepped up. We want tales of sonder\, when you realized the person on the park bench had an entire life you knew nothing about. When were you simply a supporting character? When did you feel like the main character? Give us the dark spaces where your emotions ran rampant and created their own version of what happened. Or: re-tell your favorite fairytale. Your least favorite. What childhood bedtime story touched you the most? Let us peer into your lives in a way only your closest friends do. Let’s get to know each other. \nPlease submit your poetry via email to lastleavesmag@gmail.com. Failure to adhere to the guidelines may invalidate your submission. If you have any questions or concerns surrounding the guidelines\, please send us an email prior to submitting. We’re always happy to help! As always\, our themes are very loose and open for interpretation. We provide guidelines\, but by all means take it and run with it! \n\n\nFor poetry: Please use “Poetry Submission” as the subject line. Send up to 5 poems (no more than 10 pages) as a single Word (.doc or .docx) attachment. Please start each poem on a new page. All work should be single-spaced and in Times New Roman\, 12-point font. \n\n\nDo not include your name or contact information in the documents. \n\n\nSubmitters are welcome to send work for both categories using the subject line “Poetry/Art Submission\,” with all documents attached to the same email. This helps us keep all your work in one place. \n\n\nPlease include a brief 50-word bio in the body of your email. Include your name as you would like it to appear in the magazine\, your email\, and links to your website and/or social media (if desired). We will trim the bio as-needed if it exceeds the word count. \n\n\nIf you’ve submitted to us in the past\, we kindly ask that you start a new email thread for each submission window (i.e.\, instead of replying to your previous submission\, start a new email with the subject line for the category you’re submitting to). \n\n\n​Simultaneous submissions are accepted\, though please send us a message ASAP if your work is accepted elsewhere. We do not accept previously published work\, but we love reading your poems on Instagram @lastleavesmag. \n​Please only submit once per issue and wait until the next reading period to submit again. We hope to respond to each submission within two months. As with most literary magazines\, we’re volunteers and doing our best. We thank you in advance for your  patience. \n​For more information on what we publish\, check out our editor interviews here and here. At this time\, we’re unfortunately not able to pay contributors. The PDF version of our magazine will always be free to download here. \n​Authors published in our magazine retain full rights to their work to do with as they please following publication of the issue they’re in. We simply ask for First North American Serial Rights and to be credited as first publication (i.e.\, “Work first appeared in Last Leaves Magazine\, Issue X”).

SUMMARY:PFN - Call for Submissions to The FruitSlice: A Queer Quarterly.  Theme: "I Am in Love With You (no homo): Platonic Romance and Chosen Bonds"
DESCRIPTION:Note: Submissions are restricted to LGBTQ+ creators.\nWe want to delve deep into the world of connections and emotions that defy conventional boundaries. Our theme for this issue is an exploration of the multifaceted bonds we form\, focusing on both platonic romance and the significance of chosen bonds. \nIn a world where romantic love often takes center stage\, we aim to shed light on the profound\, complex\, and sometimes misunderstood relationships that exist outside the realm of traditional romance. We invite you to explore the intricacies of intense\, non-romantic connections that can rival even the most passionate love stories. Who says romcoms are just for lovers? Why can’t we buy our friends flowers or chase them down in the airport? We believe that every friendship is its own epic tale. I know that at least for me\, my romantic partners have a high bar to meet because my friends love me so well. \nWe are looking at the powerful ties we establish with friends who become family\, mentors who guide us\, and kindred spirits who feel like soulmates. These connections often transcend societal norms\, creating a unique tapestry of love\, support\, and shared experiences. \nAs with all our themes\, we encourage diverse interpretations. \nReflect on the friendships and chosen family members who have profoundly impacted your life. Explore the dynamics of relationships that challenge societal expectations and norms. Contemplate the moments of connection that have left a lasting imprint on your heart. Your interpretation of this theme can take many forms: essays\, poetry\, short stories\, artwork\, or any creative medium that resonates with you. \nWe’re excited to witness your exploration. Your contributions will help us celebrate the power of love\, connection\, and community in all its beautiful manifestations. \nSubmission Guidelines\nSubmission Email: Please send your submissions to submit@thefruitslice.com. \nWord Limit: We recommend keeping written pieces under 5 pages or under 1500 words to ensure a concise and engaging read. \nMultiple Submissions: There’s no limit to the number of submissions you can send our way. Feel free to share your work with us\, and we’ll give each piece the attention it deserves. \nThank you for being part of the Fruitslice community\, and we look forward to exploring your creative contributions!

SUMMARY:N - The Sun Magazine's Readers Write Seeking Submissions.  Theme: "Fuel"
DESCRIPTION:Readers Write is a feature in The Sun where readers share their personal writing on a given topic—a unique fixture of the magazine since the section’s inception in 1978. Send us your true story on an upcoming topic\, and if we publish it you’ll receive a complimentary one-year subscription. \nWriting style isn’t as important as thoughtfulness and sincerity\, and topics are intentionally broad to give room for expression and interpretation. \nPerhaps yours is a massive thermos of coffee first thing in the morning\, or a bottle of those barely regulated pills they sell at truck stops. Or possibly you’re so used to running on empty you wouldn’t know how to operate on a full tank. Have you ever been stranded on the side of the road\, waiting for someone to show up with a gallon of gasoline? Send us your story—just make sure it’s a true one—and we’ll consider it for this upcoming Readers Write. \nTo submit by mail\, send your typed\, double-spaced submission to: \nReaders Write\nThe Sun\n107 N. Roberson St.\nChapel Hill\, NC 27516

SUMMARY:PFN - Halfway Down the Stairs Seeking Submissions on the Theme of Ephemera
DESCRIPTION:GENERAL GUIDELINES \n\nWe are looking for serious writers with an appreciation for language and the craft of writing. We want fiction with memorable characters and realistic plots\, poetry that is fresh and original\, and nonfiction that is both thoughtful and entertaining.\nWe will accept only writing that has been proofread for spelling and grammar. Trust us on this one. We keep our virtual machete very sharp for people who are grammatically challenged\, and we are not afraid to use it.\nHaving said that\, as an international ‘zine\, we accept differences in spelling usages (e.g. British vs American English) and will publish whatever is considered correct in an author’s home country.\nWe are not interested in explicit sexual content\, gratuitous violence\, or repetitive swearing\, unless it is essential to the plot and not included solely for shock value.\nPlease do not send us any of the following: poetry that sounds like it ought to be on a Hallmark card\, poetry you copied from a Hallmark card\, how-to articles\, first drafts of anything\, fanfiction\, anything full of sentimentality\, or religious and/or political propaganda disguised as fiction.\nThis ought to be obvious\, but only send us your own work\, humans. If you send us anything plagiarized or written by a robot\, remember we have a machete.\nWe do not accept previously published work. This includes not only formal publications in print and online journals\, but any pieces you may have posted to a blog\, personal website\, etc. If it’s already available to the public in some form\, we do not accept it.\nWe do accept simultaneous submissions\, but please let us know immediately if your piece is accepted by another journal.\nAs above\, we do not consider or accept submissions outside the specified submission period.\nWe reserve the right to make minor editorial changes without consultation\, where there are unintentional errors or inconsistencies in punctuation\, spelling or grammar.\nThe editors are all responsive to shameless flattery and to gifts of chocolate.\n\nPoetry Guidelines \nWe accept poetry of roughly 500 words or less\, although we are not terribly strict about this guideline.  We are rarely willing to be lenient with the theme when it comes to poetry\, and will do so only if the submission is very good. \nPlease note that we only accept three poems at any one time from a single author and\, for the most part\, publish only one poem from any one author per edition. \nFiction Guidelines \nWe accept fiction of roughly 5\,000 words or less related to the theme of the issue.   The fiction editors are looking mostly for short stories\, but we are happy to consider well-crafted flash fiction. We don’t want to be too strict with the guidelines\, because we appreciate originality\, creativity\, and stories that are off the beaten path. We like stories that grab us from the beginning\, make us think\, and keep us enthralled. Stories should be written confidently and fluidly\, avoiding too many adjectives or too much dialogue. We will be negatively distracted by poor grammar/spelling\, clichés\, and a lack of editing. \nPlease submit only one piece of fiction at a time\, and ensure stories are formatted as requested below. \nNonfiction Guidelines \nWe accept creative nonfiction of 3\,000 words or less. Halfway Down the Stairs is specifically looking for essays and memoir with a strong voice and a unique point of view. We publish well-written\, honest writing that inspires emotion. Humor is also appreciated. \nWe are not looking for stream of consciousness rants of a political or religious nature. Save those for your blog. We respond negatively to spelling and grammatical errors\, so please proofread your work closely if you wish to have it seriously considered. \nAs of 2018 we began accepting nonfiction submissions outside of the issue theme.  Submissions within the theme are still encouraged\, but high quality submissions outside the theme will also be considered for publication. Please note this only applies to nonfiction submissions. \nPlease submit only one piece of nonfiction at a time.

SUMMARY:PF - Augur Magazine: Limited demographic: BIPOC\, trans\, and/or disabled and Canadian citizens/permanent residents
DESCRIPTION:Augur makes room for writing from uncommon perspectives\, and brings together the often disparate realms of literary and genre fiction. Our goal is to publish at least 80% Canadian and Indigenous content\, offering new opportunities to the rich communities of speculative fiction writers in the North. And\, more importantly\, we’re committed to featuring intersectional narratives as represented by characters\, storytelling\, and\, in particular\, author representation. We want the kind of liminal that pulls voices together\, and honours difference as an integral part of our literary canon. \nA NOTE ON INTERSECTIONALITY \n\n\nIf you are comfortable with it\, we encourage writers to indicate their intersections in their cover letter. We pay attention to whose voices we publish\, and this information helps us be self-aware as we construct issues. \nHowever\, we acknowledge marginalized individuals are not often safe when they disclose their identities. Disclosure is not a requirement to submit. \nAny information disclosed will be treated as confidential. \nWhat does “intersections” mean? Any intersection of identity that you sit at. For example\, a POC trans settler\, or an allocishet white woman. Everyone sits at intersections of identity and privilege—please do not write that you have “no intersectional identity” in your cover letter. \nSome intersections might include: \n\n2SLGBTQIA+\nBlack\, Indigenous\, and/or POC\nMarginalized genders\nSettler\nDisabled\nNeurodivergent\nCitizenship status\nReligious minority\nClass\n\nAlthough this is by no means an exhaustive list. We also encourage folks who aren’t marginalized to get into the practice of self-identifying\, to normalize the practice across the board. \nPlease note that our editorial preference will always skew towards intersectional/marginalized/under-represented/diverse\, Canadian and Indigenous/Native/First Nations creators. \n\n\nA NOTE ON CITIZENSHIP DECLARATION FOR INDIGENOUS CREATORS\n\n\n\n\nCanadian granting bodies require us to keep track of who we’re publishing—we need to know that we’re hitting the required Canadian quotas. So\, as a result\, we ask folks to identify as from Canada/Turtle Island or as International. However\, we recognize that this complicates the submissions process for folks who live within Canadian settler borders but who resist/refuse Canadian identity. \nWe welcome all of our Indigenous authors and creators to self-identify their citizenship however feels most comfortable and accurate. If you prefer\, you are welcome to exempt yourself from the CND/TI and INT requirements—we just ask that you also let us know if you are situated within Canadian borders\, so we can keep track of what the Canadian government will recognize as a part of our quota. \nFICTION SUBMISSIONS\nShorts & Flash \n– Submit in standard manuscript format \n– Do not include identifying information \n– Send as a .doc or .docx file \n– Place content warnings under the title of your manuscript \n– If you would like to\, indicate your intersections (not required) \n– Let us know if it’s a simultaneous submission \n– Don’t submit any single story over 5000 words \n– Send a maximum of 2 stories per submissions cycle \nWe pay $0.11 cents (CAD) per word for short fiction (1000+ words)\, and a flat fee of $110.00 per flash fiction piece (1000 words and under). \nFinally\, for grant purposes\, please indicate if you have citizenship/residency in Canada/Turtle Island [CND/TI]\, are international [INT]\, or have a less clearcut relationship with Canada [OTH]—for example\, international students\, individuals living here without citizenship\, or any other relationship that is not easily defined. \nPOETRY SUBMISSIONS\nFor bards & wordsmiths\n– Submit in standard manuscript format for poetry \n– Submit as a .doc or a .docx file \n– Do not include identifying information \n– Place content warnings under the title of your manuscript \n– If you would like to\, indicate your intersections (not required) \n– Do not submit more than 5 poems\, to a maximum of 10 pages of poetry \nWe pay $60.00 CAD per poem \nFinally\, for grant purposes\, please indicate if you have citizenship/residency in Canada/Turtle Island [CND/TI]\, are international [INT]\, or have a less clearcut relationship with Canada [OTH]—for example\, international students\, individuals living here without citizenship\, or any other relationship that is not easily defined

SUMMARY:PFN - After Happy Hour Contest Theme: Animals
DESCRIPTION:For this year’s contest\, we want submitters to go wild–or domesticated\, or sentient\, or whatever other form of beastly you’re feeling. In other words: we’re seeking work from any and all genres that involves non-human living creatures in some way\, shape\, or form. \nSubmissions that fit the theme will include some kind of animal. Note that this doesn’t need to be a real animal. It can be a cryptid like a chupacabra\, a hybrid made via genetic engineering\, a robot pet\, or some new species that you’ve made up. It also counts if it’s a human who becomes an animal–a Kafka-style transformation\, for example\, or a were-beast\, Selkie\, etc. The animal can be an image or metaphor\, too\, but we’re looking for more than a passing mention of birds singing from the trees. The animal should be integral to the story in some way\, be that as a character\, a plot point\, or a central theme. \nEach $10 entry can be: \n\n1 prose work of 1\,000 words or longer\nup to 3 individual poems sent in a single document\nup to 3 flash or micro prose pieces in a single document\n\n  \nNumbers update 1/1: At the halfway point of the contest\, we’ve received 67 entries and the prize pool is currently at $320. \nPoetry: Send up to 3 individual poems\, no line or word limits. \nFiction: Send a single short story or up to 3 flash or micro pieces (fewer than 1\,000 words each) in a single document. We have no hard word count limits\, and welcome stories in that hard-to-publish 5\,000-10\,000 word length that justify their real estate. That said\, this is a print issue\, so we won’t be able to publish anything that’s a true novella length. \nCreative non-fiction: Send a single piece of 1\,000 words or longer\, or up to 3 flash or micro pieces (fewer than 1\,000 words each) in a single document. We are specifically looking for lyric or narrative non-fiction\, not scholarly essays (though if you’re using the tropes of scholarly essays within the context of a creative essay\, that we do want to see). \nHybrid/Cross-Genre: Yes\, please. Follow whichever of the above guidelines makes the most sense for your work.\n \nPrize Info:\nThe winners and honorable mentions for this contest will receive a percentage of the total entry fees paid (including purchases of After Happy Hour print issues): \n\nUp to 3 “ranked winners” will split 30%.\nUp to 3 honorable mentions will split 15%\n\nHow this will look in practice will depend on the work we receive. Possible scenarios: \n\nThree 1st place winners\, one each in fiction\, poetry\, and CNF\, who each get 10%; three honorable mentions\, one in each category\, that get 5%\nTwo 1st place winners\, one each in poetry and prose\, who each get 15%; two honorable mentions\, one in each category\, that get 7.5%\nOverall 1st (20%) and 2nd (10%) place\, plus 1-3 overall honorable mentions\nA single Grand Prize winner who walks away with the whole 30%\, plus 1-3 overall honorable mentions\n\nThe more submissions we get\, the more winners and honorable mentions we’re likely to award. All submitted works will also be considered for publication in the issue. If we publish your work and you don’t win a prize\, you’ll get $10 (basically you’ll get your entry fee back) and 2 copies of the print issue. \nGeneral Guidelines: \n\nPlease include a brief (100 words max) 3rd-person bio with your submission.\nTo limit editor bias\, we read all submissions anonymously. To this end\, we ask submitters to remove their name and contact information from the document before submitting it.\nUse standard manuscript format (11- or 12-point font\, standard margins/spacing). We won’t reject you for weird spacing or a bad font (probably)\, but following this standard makes things easier to read\, and that makes the editors happy. Poets/experimental prose writers have more liberty here if the non-standard formatting is used for stylistic reasons. Straightforward prose writers have no excuse.\nWe accept submissions only through Submittable. Submissions sent to our e-mail will be deleted unread.\nMultiple submissions are allowed\, but each submission must be accompanied by its own $10 submission fee.\nSimultaneous submissions are accepted for the contest. However\, your entry fee will not be returned if the piece is accepted elsewhere and you need to withdraw it.\nPreviously published work is not accepted for the contest. We are looking for new\, unpublished stories for this issue.\nIf you need to withdraw a longer prose piece\, or an entire packet of poems or flash prose\, you can choose the “withdraw” option on Submittable. To withdraw a single poem or flash piece from a packet\, you can message us through Submittable or e-mail us (afterhappyhour [at] gmail [dot] com).\nAccepted submissions may be edited for grammar. All changes will be sent to the author for approval before publication.\nWe acquire first publishing rights and electronic archive rights. All other rights are retained by the author. Following the work’s publication in After Happy Hour\, you can re-publish and anthologize your work as you see fit. Content can be removed from the website on request\, but cannot be removed from the issue in which it was published.
