SUMMARY:PFN - The Deronda Review Seeking Submissions on the Theme of Trust
DESCRIPTION:The Deronda Review is primarily a poetry magazine\, but we are also open to short fiction\, essay\, and memoir. For the magazine itself\, prose submissions should be a maximum of 500 words. However\, longer prose works may be published on our homepage. Poetry submissions should consist of up to five poems\, either in ONE Word document or in the body of the email. Only works with special graphic requirements should be sent in a .pdf. We are open to reprints and simultaneous submissions; if your submission is simultaneous\, please tell us so. We recommend that  you read an issue (see “Archives” section)\, and consider our statement on the aims and character of the magazine\, here. \nWe publish one issue annually.  Our present reading period is from May 15 to July 15\, 2024.  Send to Esther Cameron\, derondareview at g mail\, or to Mindy Aber Barad\, maber4kids at yahoo period com.  \nFor the 2024 issue\,  our main theme will be Trust.  As we wrote in our email calling for submissions: \n Our theme\nThis time is “trust\,” and what we have in mind\nIs chiefly trust among us\, fellow-humans.\nWe know\, of course\, that some cannot be trusted\,\nThat there are various forces in this world\nWhich are not friendly\, of which we must beware;\nAnd that in order to get out of bed\nEach morning\, it is helpful if we hold\nSome trust\, that in the end all will be well\nThat there’s a Power which plans all for good.\nBut to perceive where trust is possible\nAmid the thickets of our human plane\,\nTo set one’s foot upon a bridge that’s offered\nWhich may conduct us toward a distant safety –\nThat is an art perhaps too little studied. \nFor modern life has trained us to rely\nLess upon one another than on systems\nIn which we find our places\, hopefully\nBy merit and desert\, according to\nInalienable rights. We trust they work\nFor good\, that justice can be found within them\,\nAnd where such trust is not betrayed too often\,\nThe people are well governed\, and are happy.\nBut where\, through machinations of the strong\nOr working of impersonal forces guided\nBy laws not moral\, but mechanical\,\nThe systems seem to turn against the beings\nBy and for whom they were at first designed\,\nThen it is well if those who can be trusted\nCan find each other and make common cause\nTo rectify the system\, or at least\nEndure\, outlast the evils of its breakage.\nOn this we have long thought\, nor is such thinking\nOriginal with us; see\, on our homepage\,\nThe document “Intelligent Community\,”\nWhich brings some old advice to present times. \nWe hope these thoughts inspire or bring to mind\nPoems of yours.

SUMMARY:PF - Bronze Bird Books Love Poetry Anthology Seeking: Expressions of love with a seasonal arc
DESCRIPTION:To create a cohesive and deeply heartfelt book\, we’re primarily looking for expressions of romantic or Éros love. \nAs much as possible\, this anthology will tie various expressions of love to a seasonal arc. So\, whether it’s pumpkin spice latte dates in autumn or nostalgic recollections of summer love on a Coney Island boardwalk\, we welcome a specific sense of atmosphere. In past collections\, we’ve received many submissions about grief or the loss of a partner; we’ll consider those for this project\, too\, if the poem ultimately celebrates the love that existed or persists. \nPublication Notes / FAQ: \n\nJuly 15th is the deadline for submissions.\nIf your submission is accepted for publication\, we will notify you by August 1st. If you haven’t heard from us by then\, consider it a pass. (Since email deliverability can be a complex ordeal with many variables\, we recommend that you periodically check your spam folder in case we don’t directly reach your inbox.)\nSubmitted work should not have been previously published; needless to say\, it should also be original\, true to your experience\, and not written entirely by a bot!\nWe generally prefer poetry without complicated formatting. Longer lines of poetry don’t always fit in our standard 6” x 9” trim size. If it’s a prose poem\, it’s OK. Otherwise\, anticipate that very long lines may spill over if you exceed 68 characters and consider rebalancing your line breaks.\nWe are also open to prose poetry/flash fiction if it is thematically relevant. We will consider anything up to 1\,000 words.\nAll submitted works should have titles. We include a table of contents and need to refer to your work in some way.\nContributors grant First Publication Rights to the Bronze Bird Books love anthology. All rights revert to the author after publication. We will work to promote this collection and all contributors therein\, with bios and promotional links included at the end of the manuscript. All accepted contributors will receive a digital copy of the collection; the press does not have the resources to provide complimentary print copies.\nAfter you complete the Google Form\, you should automatically receive a copy of it. That email copy may alter the appearance/formatting of your submission; however\, rest assured that we have received the text exactly as you inputted it.

SUMMARY:PFN - Call for Submissions to The Primer: A quarterly periodical of the strange and the beautiful. Theme: Efflorescence
DESCRIPTION:Submissions for Vol. One\, Issue Five are open \n\nOur publication avidly encompasses broad fields – from literature to science\, history to music\, all disciplines are welcome. We’re simply guided by this question: how do beauty and strangeness collide? \nFor our fifth issue\, we’re approaching this inquiry through the theme of Efflorescence. Of renewal and rejuvenation\, of coming into one’s own maturation — the process of efflorescence is about surrendering to change and leaning into the burgeoning possibilities of the new. “A bursting into flower”\, an “act of blossoming out”\, it is to embrace desire and feel one’s beauty\, greatly. It is also\, however\, to be at a point of utter vulnerability. Budding shoots are fragile\, after all — they are susceptible to harsh winds and careless gestures that\, whether deliberately or unknowingly\, tear them clean or scythe them down. What does it mean to bloom\, for you? \nTake that in any direction: you could reflect on a nascent love for something new or your coming-of-age\, then and now; you could consider what you’ve left behind to start anew or the growing pains of who you’re developing into. All these\, and more\, are welcome in Vol. Two\, Issue Five. \n/ \nGuidelines\n\nPublication history: We seek previously unpublished works\nGenre: There are no restrictions in genre\nWord limits: We ask for prose pieces and dramatic works to be not more than approximately 1500 words (we are\, after all\, a primer!)\nMultiple submissions: We accept a maximum of four pieces per submission – with the exception of visual art\, for which the maximum is ten pieces per submission

SUMMARY:N - THIS Magazine Seeking Submissions for the Culture Issue. Theme: The Arts Industry in Canada
DESCRIPTION:Culture Issue \nWe’re now accepting pitches for our annual Culture Issue! This year’s theme is the arts industry in Canada. We’d like to cover what’s going well\, what’s not going so well\, and how we’re funding our endeavours in these tough times. While we’re not looking for many profiles of artists themselves\, we are interested in highlighting work artists are engaging in to keep their fields alive and promote innovation right now. We’re really interested in telling stories that are happening across Canada\, from the east to the west to the North. Keeping the arts healthy in small towns is as important\, and sometimes more so\, as what happens in big city scenes. Please pitch us about whatever you’ve noticed that’s weird and wonderful in your local arts scenes\, updates on your long-favourite festivals and bands\, supports you’d like to see for artists — we’re into it all. \nWe’re seeking news\, arts and ideas stories\, and features. This includes our back page open letter and memoir and opinion columns. We publish Canadian residents only and accept queries (not completed manuscripts). We suggest familiarizing yourself with the magazine and previously published stories before pitching. For more details on the kinds of pieces we run\, see below. \nWe like stories that aren’t likely to be found anywhere else\, ideally with a social justice tie-in. In your pitch\, it’s always great to say why you want to tell this story now\, why you’re the one to tell it\, sources you plan to consult\, and any takeaways your piece will include for the reader. In other words\, what might people learn\, or start to learn\, from reading your story? \nPitches are due Thursday\, July 4\, 2024 and can be sent to Sarah Ratchford\, editor@thismagazine.ca. \nThank you for pitching This Magazine! We can’t wait to read your ideas. \nWriters’ Guidelines \nThis Magazine welcomes queries only\, not already written pieces. A good This Magazine article offers background and context to ongoing national issues\, a challenge to the mainstream media perspective\, or an important story that hasn’t been told elsewhere. Subject matter includes politics\, culture\, the arts\, social issues\, labour\, feminism\, mental health\, race/racism\, Indigenous issues\, and sexuality\, with a focus on quality writing and in-depth reportage. Please note: This Magazine publishes Canadian residents only \nBefore you submit anything to the magazine\, be sure you are familiar with its approach. Pay particular attention to writing style and content. Articles for This Magazine should have a journalistic approach\, and be written in language simple enough to be comprehensible to a high school student\, with enough research and insight to be interesting to a PhD. Assume that you’re talking to knowledgeable readers (because you are). We encourage writers to grapple with big ideas\, but they must be conveyed with wit and style\, avoiding artistic\, journalistic\, legal\, or academic jargon.

SUMMARY:PFN - Moss Piglet Zine Seeking Submissions on the Theme of Tools
DESCRIPTION:Our theme is Tools. You might create work that’s inspired by the instruments in your garage\, or by those used in healthcare and dentistry\, in the arts and sciences\, in tailoring\, and in gardening. PC Magazine says that “virtually any program or utility that helps programmers or users develop applications or maintain their computers can be called a tool.”\n \nDEADLINE: Wednesday\, July 3\, 2024  Send to info@krazines.com. \nSubmissions of Stories\, Essays & Poems\nPlease send text submissions in .doc\, .docx or PDF formats to info@krazines.com. \nAs our publication is digest-sized\, we prefer short poems and prose pieces.  Your stories and essays may go up to 1\,000 words\, but anything beyond that total won’t be considered. \nYou may provide multiple submissions\, but don’t go crazy. Someone has to read all of the stuff that comes across our desk. \nWe’re OK with simultaneous submissions and previously published work. Just cite the place where your writing has previously appeared. \nIf you have a fancy title like Poet Laureate\, Writer-In-Residence\, or you have been knighted by a King or Queen\, we’d be happy to include that information in our publication. \nYou retain all rights to your work.

SUMMARY:F - Call for Submissions to the Sans. PRESS Garden Anthology. Theme: The Garden
DESCRIPTION:In the brightness of snow or in the rich colours of an orchard\, the world is blooming with tales to be told and life to be lived. There is deep pleasure\, sensual wonder – but also horrors untold\, and their roots might’ve grown tangled in the same patch of grass. \nFor our eighth anthology\, we want the stories that pick the fruit and take a daring bite; we want to watch the stains the juice leaves behind as it drips. We want to unpick the weaved tapestry of all that builds a garden – colours\, taste\, the senses\, life\, death\, regrowth; the flowers and the bugs. \nThe Garden is an anthology for stories that engage with the living world in all its glory and messiness. From blossom to decay\, stories can interpret the premise in any way; be as metaphorical or literal as you wish – just don’t be afraid to get a little dirt under your fingernails. \nWe are looking for stories inspired by our title – The Garden. All genres of writing are welcome; more than any specific story or style\, we want the emotional response the title evokes in you. \nIf you have previously submitted to our calls\, we recommend sending us a piece of work we have yet to read! We want to see the whole spectrum of your creativity\, so we’d love to see something new from you. \n  \n\n\n\n\nThe Rules\n1   One story per writer\, up to 5000 words (no minimum word count) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n2   Make sure your name and personal information are not on the story file (only in the form!)\n\n\n\n\n\n3   Stories must be typed in readable font and size\, with the title as file name (ie. ShortStoryTitle.docx)\n\n\n\n\n4   Only submissions made through this form will be considered.\n\n\n\n\n\n5   Simultaneous submissions are okay\, but please inform us as soon as possible if you are selected elsewhere!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6  Submissions made with the use of AI will be disqualified.

SUMMARY:PFN - THEMA Seeking Submissions on: A New Routine
DESCRIPTION:ALL SHORT STORIES AND POEMS MUST RELATE TO THE PREMISE “A NEW ROUTINE” \nThe premise (target theme) must be an integral part of the plot\, not necessarily the central theme but not merely incidental. Fewer than 20 double-spaced typewritten pages preferred. Indicate premise (target theme) on title page. Be sure to Indicate target theme in cover letter or on first page of manuscript. Include self-addressed\, stamped envelope (SASE) with each submission. Rejected manuscripts unaccompanied by an SASE will not be returned. Response time: 3 months after premise deadline. Note: No handwritten manuscripts will be considered. \nNO READER’S FEE. \nNOTE: Previously published pieces are welcome\, provided that the submission fits the theme and that the author owns the copyright. \nMail to: THEMA\, Box 8747\, Metairie\, LA 70011-8747. \nOutside the US: email thema@cox.net \nOn acceptance for publication\, we will pay the following amount: short story\, $25; short-short piece (up to 1000 words)\, $10; poem. \nCopyright reverts to author after publication. \nUnlike many publishers\, we prefer works submitted by the authors themselves\, without the involvement of an agent. \nNo handwritten manuscripts will be considered. \nNOTE: We do not accept e-mailed submissions EXCEPT from authors who live outside the U.S. \nFor those living outside the U.S.\, submit manuscript as an email attachment (readable by MSWord ― either as a DOC file or an RTF file)\, and include the following information on the title page: target theme\, title of work\, name of author\, email address and physical address. \n\n\n\n\nShort Stories: All types welcome―both traditional and experimental \nSend to: Virginia Howard\, editor\, Box 8747\, Metairie\, LA 70011-8747 \nOutside the US: email to Virginia Howard at thema@cox.net \n\n\n\n\n\nWhat we like: a carefully constructed plot; good character delineation; clever plot twists \nWhat we don’t like: bedroom/bathroom profanity.  Why? \n\nIt’s boring! Writers should be more creative than to depend on the same tired and dubious language crutches to express surprise\, disdain\, shock\, bemusement\, anger\, sadness\, and other emotions.\nSuch profanity\, used in excess\, often serves as a camouflage for a weak plot. If the plot is good\, the story can be told much more effectively in nonscatologic language even though a character in the story may be sleazy.\nStories of lasting quality rarely need it.\n\nPoetry: All types of poetic form welcome. Submit no more than three poems per theme\, please. If more than three poems are submitted\, we will read only the first three poems in the stack. \nSend to: Gail Howard\, poetry editor\, Box 8747\, Metairie\, LA 70011-8747 \nOutside the US: email to Gail Howard at thema@cox.net \nWhat we like: poems that are thoughtfully constructed and carefully distilled. \nWhat we don’t like: sexually explicit wording. Subtlety is more creative.

SUMMARY:N - HerStry Seeking Stories about Grief
DESCRIPTION:Grief\nWe’re steeped in grief. Especially now\, in this (post?) COVID world\, when so many of us have lost so much.

We can handle it. \n** HerStry is always happy to share stories anonymously—if your story is selected for publication\, simply let your editor know you would not like your name shared ** \nTHE RULES:\n\n\nAll stories must be true and about you. \n\n\nStories must follow the theme in some way\, interpretations can be wide. \n\n\nStories must stay between 500–3\,000 words. \n\n\nDocuments should be double spaced\, 12Pt font with 1 inch margins. \n\n\nSubmissions must be in .doc or .docx form—we do not accept PDFs. \n\n\nStories are read blind. Please DO NOT put any identifying material on your manuscript. Manuscripts that don’t follow this rule will be automatically disqualified without being read. We realize personal essays may contain your name; a first name is fine. \n\n\nPlease include a third person bio. Cover letters are fine\, but not necessary (we don’t read them\, we’re more interested in what you’ve written). \n\n\nPlease submit only once per theme. \n\n\nWe do not accept previously published stories. \n\n\n\n\n\nHerStry centers the experiences of women identifying persons.

SUMMARY:P - Call for Submissions to Codhill Press Guest Editors Series. Theme: Motion and Stillness/Stillness and Motion
DESCRIPTION:For the 2024 submission period\, the theme is: Motion and Stillness/Stillness and Motion. The call looks for books that: start in one realm and end up somewhere else entirely; shift from confusion to understanding; explore the world around us and the movement of necessary change–and/or how we handle the need to pause and examine a world that increasingly spins faster; what we do in the moments after epiphany; the ways in which motion and stillness are inseparable. Importantly\, manuscripts might explore these points on personal\, communal\, national\, and/or global levels. \nGuest editors are selected from past award winners\, and serve a two-year appointment. Robert Krut\, who received the Codhill Award in 2018 for The Now Dark Sky\, Setting Us All on Fire (and subsequently also published Watch Me Trick Ghosts with the press) is currently in his second year\, and will select the manuscript. Also the author of This Is the Ocean and The Spider Sermons\, Krut is a long-time teacher of writing at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. \nKrut expands on the press call by saying\, “Using a themed approach to submissions feels like a different way to find variety of fresh\, unique collections. Last year\, we received countless excellent submissions through this approach\, and I look forward to the work we receive through this new call.” \nSubmission Guidelines for the Codhill Press Guest Editor Series follow: \n\nAll submissions should be made through our submittable page.\nThis series has a reading period\, not a contest/competition. With your submission\, please tell us a little about yourself\, and share how your manuscript connects with the theme.\nManuscripts should be between 48-80 pages long\, not including front matter. Please include a table of contents; an acknowledgments page is welcomed but not required.\nThere is no reading fee for submissions.\nThe press is particularly interested in reading work by writers who have been historically underrepresented in\, and/or marginalized\, by traditional literary institutions.\nWe welcome submissions from both emerging and established writers.\nSubmissions will be accepted between May 1-June 30; the book selection will be announced by September 1\, with publication the following year.\nSimultaneous submissions are accepted; please contact the press immediately if the manuscript is no longer available.\nBooks will be published by Codhill Press and distributed by Codhill and SUNY Press; authors will receive 20 copies of the collection.

SUMMARY:F - Necessary Fiction Seeking Stories about: Dangerous Creatures
DESCRIPTION:This October\, we’re publishing spooky stories with the theme “Dangerous Creatures.” As the introduction to Jeffrey Jerome Cohen’s seminal collection Monster Theory states: “We live in a time of monsters.” So send us your monsters—your cryptids\, your undead\, your aliens\, your un-human creatures\, your bodies of difference\, your destroyer of straightforward categories and binaries. Because stories will be published in October\, we ask that you do not send “this politician is a monster”-type of story; take us somewhere deeper and more thought-provoking. \nGuidelines:\nWe accept unpublished fiction up to 3\,000 words only. Simultaneous submissions are fine but multiple submissions are not. Please double space your submission. You can expect to hear back from us no later than mid-August.

SUMMARY:PFN - Call for Submissions to Sinister Wisdom: A Multicultural Lesbian Literary & Art Journal. Theme: Mad Dykes\, Queer Worlds
DESCRIPTION:Mad Dykes\, Queer Worlds\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMad Dykes\, Queer Worlds\nEnds on Sun\, Jun 30\, 2024 11:59 PM \nWhat is Madness\, and how do we\, as lesbian/queer creatives\, wield it? Amid much feminist discourse around the figure of the “madwoman\,” mostly as an archetype to be avoided or\, in some instances\, appropriated\, in reaction to rational distress under violently cisheteropatriarchal conditions\, comparatively little discussion has focused on the lived experience of psychiatric survivorship\, iatrogenic harm\, and abuse under the sign of “mental illness” or psychiatric disability. Behind and beyond the figure of the madwoman\, or the specter of “hysteria\,” are the lived (sur)realities of Madpeople of all marginalized genders. \nThis issue of Sinister Wisdom seeks contributions by lesbian\, queer\, and/or trans people self-identified as Mad\, mentally disabled\, and/or psychiatric survivors. Following the portmanteaue coinages “transMad” (Cavar)\, “neuroqueer” (Walker\, Yergeau\, and Michaels-Dillon)\, and “neurotrans” (Smilges)\, Madness and (gender)queerness are deeply entangled and often inextricable from each other\, both as they manifest “inside” us and in our ways of relating to our words\, world(s)\, lovers\, and friends. \nWhat\, who\, and where are Mad dykes\, and how do we find each other in a world increasingly oriented toward cisheteronormative\, whitewashed wellness? What are the legacies and ongoing violences of queer/trans pathologization in our communities and beyond? How do we live as transMad people amid cissexist\, saneist attacks from the reactionary Right? And how do we share\, negotiate\, or conceal our experiences of trauma\, altered realities\, and unfamiliar access needs while also building community? \nPlease submit works of any\, all\, or no genres\, including reviews and interviews\, up to 5\,000 words\, and a short contributor biography between 25 and 125 words. We are also seeking illustrations and photographs (.jpg or .tif files only\, print resolution size at least 300 ppi). Please do not send previously published work.

SUMMARY:PN - Chicken Soup for the Soul Series Seeking: Dog Stories
DESCRIPTION:Dog Stories \nWe are thrilled to announce that we are now accepting stories for our dog topic that is to be released in 2025. Because of the popularity of this topic\, we do a new dog book approximately every eighteen months so here is another chance for you to share a story or two about the member of your family who just happens to walk on four feet! \nDogs have always been considered companions and playmates that brighten our days and enrich our lives. What would we do without them? They are also wonderful and amazing teachers. The lessons we learn from our canine friends come in all shapes and sizes\, just like they do. Tell us the new thing your canine friend has taught you. How smart she is or how she outsmarted you! How he made you smile. How she “rescued” you after you “rescued” her. How he brought your family closer together\, helped you find love\, inspired you to change something in your human life. Stories can be serious or humorous\, or both. We can’t wait to read all the heartwarming\, inspirational\, and hysterical stories you have about your dogs. \n***Please note: If you submitted a story or poem for a previous dog book and we DID NOT publish it\, here is your chance to submit it to us again. If you submitted a story and we DID publish it in a previous dog book\, please do not submit it. We will not publish it again. \nHere are a few ideas but we know you will come up with more on your own: \n– How does your dog improve your life?\n– How does your dog warm your heart and make you smile?\n– How did your dog show kindness to a human or another animal?\n– How did your dog teach you to put things in perspective and not take yourself so seriously?\n– How did your dog teach you to forgive and move on?\n– How did your dog teach you to live in the present\, and BE present?\n– The crazy things your dog does\n– The crazy things you do for your dog\n– Has your dog demonstrated a surprising degree of empathy or comprehension of a situation?\n– How did your dog teach you about kindness?\n– Does your dog act a certain way with one family member and a different way with another?\n– Did your dog get lost and\, by some unexplainable miracle\, return home?\n– Has your dog ever done something extremely embarrassing?\n– How did your dog teach you about humor?\n– Did you train him\, or did he train you?\n– Who rescued who?\n– Learning about loyalty and unconditional love\n– My dog seems almost human and can understand the things I’m saying or feeling\n– Does she talk back to you?\n– How my dog picked me\n– How my therapy dog has made a difference\n– How my dog changed my family\n– Your work at a shelter or rescue organization and have great stories from there \nRecipe for a Winning Chicken Soup for the Soul Submission\nA Chicken Soup for the Soul story is an inspirational\, true story about ordinary people having extraordinary experiences. It is a story that opens the heart and rekindles the spirit. It is a simple piece that touches our readers and helps them discover basic principles they can use in their own lives. These stories are personal and often filled with emotion and drama. They are filled with vivid images created by using the five senses. In some stories\, the readers feel that they are actually in the scene with the people. \nChicken Soup for the Soul stories are written in the first person and have a beginning\, middle and an end. The stories often close with a punch\, creating emotion\, rather than simply talking about it. Chicken Soup for the Soul stories have heart\, but also something extra—an element that makes us all feel more hopeful\, more connected\, more thankful\, more passionate and better about life in general. A good story causes tears\, laughter\, goose bumps or any combination of these. \nThe most powerful stories are about people extending themselves\, or performing an act of love\, service or courage for another person. \nGuidelines for a Chicken Soup for the Soul story\n\nTell an exciting\, heartwarming or funny story about something that has happened to you or someone you know. Your story should be written in the first person and should be about yourself or someone close to you.\nTell your story in a way that will make the reader cry\, laugh\, get goose bumps or say “Wow!”\nThe story should start “in the action” and draw in the reader. Do not start your story with an introduction about what you are going to say\, or end with a concluding paragraph about what you just said.\nDon’t be afraid to speak from the heart. Many people tell personal stories for the first time in our books\, and they find it to be a cathartic and productive experience. We do let you use a pen name for your story if you do not want to use your real name.\nDon’t try fancy moves with tenses. Writing in the present tense about something that happened in the past rarely works.\nKeep your story to 1200 words or less. Tighten\, tighten\, tighten!\nYour story must be true. No fiction\, no creative writing.\n\nWhat a Chicken Soup for the Soul story IS NOT:\n\nA sermon\, an essay or eulogy.\nAn “as told to” story written by you for someone else. If you ghost-write a story for someone\, we thank you for helping that person share his or her story. That person’s name will be listed as the author and he or she can acknowledge your help in the bio section.\nA term paper\, thesis\, letter or journal entry.\nAbout politics or controversial issues.\nA biography or testimonial.\nA journalistic article about a third party that reads like a newspaper article.\n\nGuidelines for a Chicken Soup for the Soul poem\n\nWe love poems that tell a story. A Chicken Soup for the Soul poem does the same job as a story. The reader goes away having learned your story\, just through poetry instead of prose.\nWe do not publish poems that do not tell a story.\nWe also do not publish poems that seem overly focused on rhyming and read more like greeting cards.

SUMMARY:PFN - Call for Submissions to époque press é-zine. Theme: Belonging
DESCRIPTION:Submissions are now open for our next é-zine theme ‘Belonging’. What does Belonging mean to you? It could be said that having a sense of belonging is one of our most basic needs\, a need for us to feel an affiliation for a particular group\, where we can feel secure\, included\, embraced and welcomed. It is about having an affinity for a place\, a situation or a set of common beliefs. It is something that binds us to other people and places\, fosters loyalty and shapes our own individual identities. But does this sense of belonging originate through self selected mythologising\, selective historical remembrance or blind adherence to what we are told we should believe? What consequences are there for those who do not belong\, for the outsider\, or for those who are desperate to belong and be accepted at all costs? As always the theme is open to interpretation. Submissions will close on 30th June 2024. \nwritten wordWe are open for submissions of poetry\, short stories and short essays. Please submit your work in an attachment to the email as a MS Word Document. Please accompany your submission with a short bio of no more than 100 words telling us a little bit about yourself\, the motivation behind your work and how it aligns to the theme. This can be attached as a separate MS Word Document or within the text of the email. Please email submissions@epoquepress.com and in the subject header state ‘ezine submission’\, name of theme and your name.

SUMMARY:P - the ruth weiss foundation 2024 Poetry Contest: Haiku poems (fee-based)
DESCRIPTION:2024 ruth weiss Foundation Poetry Contest: Unleash Your Verse \n“I want my poems to evoke” — from the ruth weiss film\, ruth weiss The Beat Goddess trailer. \nDive into the Haiku Contest for 2024! Poets and dreamers\, this is your call to craft in the realm of haiku\, where each syllable bursts with meaning\, and every pause can capture a universe. \nWhy Haiku? Haiku distills poetry to its essence—17 beats\, a touch of nature\, a moment of Zen. Matsuo Basho captured it best: a silent pond\, a frog leaps\, and then silence again. It’s the art of minimalism\, where quiet truths resonate between the lines. \nThe Beat Generation’s Twist: Jack Kerouac saw haiku as a snapshot of life\, spontaneous and raw. He infused his verses with the rhythm of Bee Bop jazz\, transforming traditional haiku into quick\, sparse reflections of modern chaos. Similarly\, ruth weiss\, poet\, playwright\, artist\, and filmmaker\, painted her haikus across canvases\, blending jazz music and vibrant hues to evoke deep human emotions and experiences. \nTradition Meets Rebellion: We honor haiku’s rich legacy while daring to disrupt. Just as Kerouac and weiss reimagined traditional forms\, we invite you to either stand with the masters or chart new territories with your haiku. \nContest Categories and Prizes: \n• Maverick: $1\,200 \n• Emergent: $1\,000 \n• Youth (18 and under): $800 \n• School Grant (up to three schools): $900 \n• Founder’s Prize: $100 \n• Honorable Mentions: $200 each for the final ten winners (Total: $2\,000) \nPrize allocations may adjust depending on entry volume. \nHow to Begin? \nThe Essence of Haiku: Embrace kigo (season words) and kireji (cutting words)—the vital elements that ground your verse in the now and slice through to the heart. \nLive it: Write a haiku to a friend and share the inspiration. \nCan You Dig It? \nPlease send us your verses\, whether they cling to classic cliffs or dance on the edge of new waves. Join us in celebrating poetic legacy and innovation. Together\, let’s craft a tapestry of haiku that honors tradition and propels it into the future. \nPLEASE READ: \nCategories – choose one you belong to: \nMaverick – Ages 26 and up. The Maverick Award is open to all poets that embody the spirit of the maverick; whether published or not\, ruth weiss’s spirit is the exemplar of the Maverick. \nEmerging – Between ages 18 and 25. Emergent poets include a wide range of writers –those that exude a passion for writing. ruth weiss championed emerging poets throughout her long life as a bell-weather writer watching others evolve. \nYouth – Aged 18 and below to age 15. Share your love of writing and creativity while you explore the poet ruth weiss. \nMake sure your poem has never been published before. \nIf you win\, you agree for us to be able to publish your poem on our website. \n\n[Leave blank – add poem on the next step ‘application form’] \nMake sure your poem has never been published before. \nAll types of haiku are acceptable\, not just the formal. \n\nIf you win\, you agree for us to be able to publish your poem on our website.
