Make them spooky. Make them real. Make them MIDLVLMAG!

We want your weird, muddy, and messy - the turtles without shells, boiled frogs, & mushroom-capped fairies. Show us what's in your swamp.
Use the theme literally to develop work in words which reflect current or historic studies of the cosmos. Or become the next Jules Verne, Robert Heinlein, or other sci-fi author.
Send us your thought provoking existentialism, your phobias, your darkest moments. Entrance us with your whimsical fantasy. Move us to tears with your truth in a world of suffering. Captivate and intrigue us with your hopes and dreams.
We publish poetry, creative nonfiction, and poetry -- with a healing bent -- from those across the globe.
