Events

We invite stories, poems, memoir, and non-fiction that explore how, in ways small and large, our awareness of aging and mortality intensify our appreciation of our present (and past) in ways we never anticipated.

Apricity describes the warmth of the winter sun. We are looking for everything related to Winter of Life and weather. Send us your best work depicting the wintery weather of life (harsh realities, cold tragedies, regrets, and hurt) alongside the winter that leaves our skin cold with the kisses of chilling air and snowflake kisses.

For our 12th issue we’re looking for experimental criticism on any films, TV, or music videos set in or that engage with the future. 

Submissions are restricted to BIPOC, gender variant, and/or disabled creatives only.

Limited Demographic: Submissions are restricted to women.

What is your “What if?” or “If only…” related to your health-related stories.

Science works to correct itself; technology has overrun us, and most people believe the same pernicious nonsense people believed two hundred years ago.

The poems may be any style or length, but must be written about food in some way.

We explore original work which inspires awareness of the human condition.

Reimagine classical myths or create new ones that reflect current issues.

Reflect on this topic of what we give (and what we receive), and how this makes a difference. 

For our Winter Extravaganza, Boudin is looking for your best fiction, CNF, poetry, and hybrid work on any subject.

Send us your best shot, the witty repartée that you always wished you had uttered, in any written genre for consideration for publication in Casting Aspersions.

Bring us your birds, your bevies and coveys, your murders and unkindnesses, your nests. Bring us swoop and sail and alight and soar.

We want your best forgeries, your most cunning fabrications. We want characters who lie, cheat, and steal; who fashion realities to suit their needs.

In this anthology we will be featuring stories that center around a craft, recipe, or ritual, accompanied by some form of tutorial, lesson, pattern, etc. that is relevant to the theme and relates to the specific story submitted.
