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.

Incarcerated Voices: writers and artists who have been incarcerated, worked with incarcerated people, or who have been affected by loved ones who have been incarcerated

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.

For our spring 2025 issue, we've chosen the theme of ILLUSION

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.
