What does Hunger mean to you?
msterdam Quarterly (AQ) is an online literary magazine that publishes, promotes, and comments on art and writing in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and the world.
We're putting together a feast of words for our 4th contest issue. For this call, we're looking for stories, essays, and poems that feature food.
For our spring 2025 issue, we've chosen the theme of ILLUSION
Love and loss go hand in hand: nothing lasts forever, and to love anything – or anyone – is to know that love will be lost one day.
We are seeking work that luxuriates in petite miracles; catalogues of tiny happinesses; the captured essence of little treats. We're seeking work that celebrates the small things worth living for.
We want your weird, wonderful, bizarre, impossible stories of mistaken identity.
Are you tempted to discover what secrets the waters hold or do you feel safer with your feet planted in the sand on shore?
Your submission must include Paris, whether as a memory, wishful thinking, an anecdote, the setting for your story or poem, a place of importance, or where you live or holiday …
Even an excellent literary magazine doesn't necessarily last forever. There are quite a few journals the After Happy Hour editors used to read (or were published in) that now no longer exist--and that's a shame, because they published great stuff that people should still be able to read.
We want your poetry and prose to have a stranger as the focal point of the writing, but we want to see your take on Strangers.
This issue considers “Fashion” in all its forms used in literary writing to reveal character. Let’s make it colorful and full of new insight!
Send your sophonic epiphanies, your furled wisdom and strange philosophies.
What is your story about not mixing with something or someone?
We want fiction with memorable characters and realistic plots, poetry that is fresh and original, and nonfiction that is both thoughtful and entertaining.
Palette Poetry will select four micro manuscripts to publish in print and digitally, beginning in the fall of 2025.
How is memory assailed by states, by time, by the formation of institutional practices of commemoration? What are the bigger truths beyond facticity and how is the present enriched and unsettled by what we REMEMBER?
We want to reverse the old March adage. Give us meek characters who find their fire by the end of the story.
Give us something visceral and honest. Give us something as raw as the below zero temps, as pure as the snow.
