We want works that engage our hearts and minds. Language matters. We like lyrical. We like dark humor. Most of all, perhaps, we want stories that matter.

Storms have been plot points, settings, themes, atmosphere, metaphors and characters. Send us your best stories of approximately 50 words that feature or reference a storm.

Snapdragon is an international online literary journal for writers, artists, and all who are looking to creativity as a way to explore the healing journey.

We interpret the provocation very loosely. It is really up to you to define or reimagine the theme in a way that is helpful. Be brave and bold, have a go, and send us your best.

What do you miss? Who do you long for? What lies buried in the past that you wish you could reclaim?

We get excited about work that explodes the status quo.

We are always intrigued as to how writers translate their work from the various themes we offer.
