SUMMARY:PFN - Call for Submissions to Bethlehem Writers Roundtable.  Theme: "Jack of All Trades: Everyman’s Tales"
DESCRIPTION:$50 for published featured-author stories\n$20 for stories published on our &More page\n\n\n\n$10 for poems we publish \nPlease submit only one story or one poem for consideration at a time. Do not submit more than one story or poem until after you receive a final response to any prior submission. Once you receive either an acceptance or rejection\, you are welcome to submit a different work to us. \nYour manuscript length must be 2\,000 words or fewer (not including the title\, author name\, or contact information). \nWhat we are seeking:\nFor Prose (as described by editor Jerry McFadden) \nWe are an “old fashioned” editorial crew: we love stories. We admire great writing; we swoon at beautifully worded sentences and lovely descriptions\, and chuckle at clever metaphors–but we always choose a great story over all of that. We constantly receive great character sketches\, serious mood pieces\, wonderfully written scenes that in the end are just wonderful scenes or elegant reminiscences.… And we judge all of this by one simple standard–where is the story? \nWhat’s a story? A character (or characters) that we care for (or hate) in a conflict (plot) that leads to a plausible resolution that has an emotional effect on the character and on the readers. For us\, a terrific story trumps even superior writing. The writing quality may be less outstanding than in the character sketches\, mood pieces\, scenes\, or reminiscences\, if the story pulls us in and makes us root for the character as he/she wrestles through a conflict. \nThis does not disqualify memoirs or reminiscences\, as long as they are told as a story–a real-life story. You are the character fighting through a conflict which changed you somehow. If this hadn’t happened\, you wouldn’t be trying to tell us about it. \nSo send us a story\, real or imagined. Give us great writing\, but more important\, give us a great story. We will love you for it. \nFor Poetry (as described by editor Paul Weidknecht) \nWe enjoy reading poetry at the Roundtable and are intrigued as to how poets translate their work from the various themes we offer. We understand the nature of much poetry is personal\, often highly so\, making the process of what goes into accepting or rejecting a poem difficult to define. Poets might rightfully ask\, “What makes a good (publishable) poem?” To which editors might deliver the easy answer\, “We know it when we read it.”  Of course\, that answer is too slippery to be of any value\, so here are some observations about poetry and how poets might refine their work: \nWhile prose can stand a degree of dilution\, poetry is concentrated. From speaking with poets at writer’s conferences\, I’ve heard that word—concentrated—come up time and again. In a poem\, possibly due to its brevity compared to a short story\, readers roll around the ‘flavor’ of words in their minds\, sort of like a literary sommelier. Word number and choice are important\, as poetry readers (read: editors) don’t skim. \nPoems addressing emotional issues\, i.e.\, the tragedy of losing a loved one\, are most effective when they reach out\, causing the reader to reflect in a similar way\, and hopefully\, compelling multiple readings. A silent nod by a reader might be one of the best compliments a poet can receive. \nOther items of which poetry is fine; its originality is refreshing—as long as you keep the interest of someone reading that abstractness. When a poem becomes too much of a puzzle\, reading it becomes a chore. A poem is not a piece of flash fiction with line breaks; short stories do that better. Read the poem out loud. How does it sound? Does it stumble along under the leaden awkwardness of worn phrases or does it ascend in the inspiration of inventive language and imagery? \nPerhaps the two most important rules regarding the creation of poetry\, or any other piece of creative writing\, are the most obvious to understand and simplest to do: keep rewriting your own work; keep reading others’ work.

SUMMARY:PFN - Griffith Review Seeking Submissions: "Creation Stories"
DESCRIPTION:Griffith Review 80: Creation Stories\n  \nThe capacity to tell stories – along with language and the ability to create art – is seen as both intrinsic and unique to the human species. Over thousands of years\, we’ve forged narratives of our origins\, our journeys and our dreams as a means of accounting for who we are and to define our place in the world. \nIn the twenty-first century\, as our existential and environmental crises mount\, humanity’s place feels distinctly tenuous. What lessons from the past can inform\, even shape\, our increasingly uncertain future? And are the stories we’re telling ourselves about what comes next – environmental downfall or technological salvation – helping or hindering what we might do and where we might go? \nIn celebration of Griffith Review’s eightieth edition and twentieth anniversary\, Creation Stories looks to the stars above and the earth below to map our ever-evolving relationships with the world around us. From archaeology and astronomy to AI and transhumanism\, the preservation of traditional knowledge to the intricacies of postmodern identity\, this edition travels through time and space to explore the many tales of who we are and where we might be headed. \nThings for you to note: \n* We’re looking for non-fiction that responds to the theme.\n* We’d prefer pieces that are no longer than 4\,000 words (they can\, of course\, be much shorter than this).\n* Attention poets! We’ll be opening a separate poetry call-out in January – keep an eye on our social media and newsletter for more details soon.\n* We’ll let you know the outcome of your submission within eight weeks of the call-out closing date. \nSubmissions close at 11:59 pm AEST\, 13 January 2023 and should be made via Submittable.

SUMMARY:FN - Call for Submissions to 100 Word Story Magazine
DESCRIPTION:One hundred seems perfect. It’s the basis of percentages\, the perfect test score\, the boiling point of water (Celsius)\, purity. Pythagoreans considered 100 as divine because it is the square (10 x 10) of the divine decad (10). Even a Scrabble set has 100 tiles. \nAnd yet 100 is a fragment. It’s an arbitrary marker\, like the “First 100 Days” of a president’s term—merely a promise of what’s to come\, or a whiff of what has passed. \nThe whole is a part and the part is a whole. The 100-word format forces the writer to question each word\, to reckon with Flaubert’s mot juste in a way that even most flash fiction doesn’t. At the same time the brevity of the form allows the writer “to keep a story free from explanation\,” as Walter Benjamin wrote. For life doesn’t lend itself so easily to our elucidations. “Incoherence is preferable to a distorting order\,” said Roland Barthes. None of us will ever know the whole story in other words. We can only collect a bag full of shards that each seem perfect. \n100 words for your story … no more or no less. Tell a story\, write a prose poem\, pen a slice of your memoir\, or try your hand at an essay. \nYou get 100 words—exactly 100 words—which is both the pain and the pleasure here. It’s short\, you tell yourself. You could write 100 words at a bus stop\, on your lunch break\, in your sleep. But with 100 words you must tell the whole story in its entirety\, so it holds together like a perfect little doll house. (Your title is not part of the 100 words.) \nPlease include a short bio (25 words\, max!) with your submission. Also\, did we say exactly 100 words? We weren’t kidding! Also\, make friends with your spell-check\, or have a friend proofread your story.

SUMMARY:P - SPIRIT: A White Stag Element Series Anthology Seeks Submissions on "Spirit"
DESCRIPTION:NOW OPEN FOR PROFFERING \n#SPIRIT: A White Stag Anthology\nWhite Stag Publishing is closing out the #ELEMENTSERIES with the fifth element & highest point of the pentacle: Spirit. #Spirit embodies the aether / the quintessence. It is the ethereal space & what dwells within it; divine beings\, spirits & the Fae\, even the supra natural. Humans attempt to access the Spirit through various mediums & divinatory practices: through clairvoyance & psychic awareness\, lucid dreaming & astral projection\, tarot & scrying (to name a few). Some also believe it can be accessed through prayer or only after death\, when our souls leave our body to join the great expanse. It is engrained in all cultures\, in various ways throughout the world; through magic & science\, myth & fable. Spirit moves the pious\, inspires artists & dreamers\, brings magic to our terrestrial realm. \nFor this anthology\, we are looking for poetry that explores the ethereal realm through various mediums whether religious / spiritual\, through clairvoyance / meditation\, science\, & the imagination. We want theology\, mysticism & magick\, alchemy\, explore the ancient mysteries. We want work that goes beyond our sphere & into the void\, translating the unknown. Send us your séances\, your rituals\, your communions with the gods\, show us the creatures that lurk in the night (the ones we don’t already know about)\, tell us of your travels through space & time. We want poetry that is evocative of the otherworldly. Be bold & dare to go beyond.

SUMMARY:P - Burrow e-journal Call for Submissions.  Theme: "What Does Mental Health (Good or Otherwise) Look Like Through the Prism of Non-Human Companions
DESCRIPTION:The provocation for the February 2023 issue of Burrow is: What does mental health (good or otherwise) look like through the prism of non-human companions? \nHow do your non-human companions help you with mental well-being? Maybe you treasure those brief encounters with wild animals or share your life with much-loved pets or family heirlooms. Burrow has run with this provocation previously. And it was a huge success. We just had to return to the well. \nWe interpret the provocation very loosely. It is really up to you to define or reimagine the theme in a way that is helpful. Be brave and bold\, have a go\, and send us your best. We are inclusive and value our readers and contributors. We can’t wait to read what you come up with.

SUMMARY:PFN - Call for Submissions to just femme & dandy.  Theme: "Survive"
DESCRIPTION:Vol. 4: SURVIVE \nTwo years into a global pandemic\, the existing stressors of domestic terrorism\, gender- and race-based hate\, and financial insecurity have reached a fever pitch. With basic human rights being stripped by governments at every turn\, it can feel like a struggle just to survive day-to-day. Yet survive we do\, and that’s an achievement deserving of recognition. \nFor this issue\, we want to hear what survival means for you and your queer identity as it relates to all areas of fashion\, including but not limited to clothing\, cosmetics\, skincare\, hair (styles and products)\, shoes\, perfumery/cologne\, accessories\, hosiery\, etc. Want to tell us about your favorite chainmail or faux-brass knuckles? What about that shade of red lipstick that feels like armor? How about your favorite bedazzled binder or mobility aid? We’d also love to hear about the roles clothing has played for in surviving (and/or recovering from) harm or protecting oneself against danger\, illness\, and other threats. Of course\, these are just a few examples. We are open to pieces across subjects and genres\, but in the spirit of queer and BIPOC celebration\, we’re especially interested in pieces that demonstrate triumph and endurance. \nNOTE: Submissions are not required to align with the theme\, but we will be highlighting the pieces that demonstrate survival. Priority\, as always\, goes to BIPOC writers and artists\, and we particularly want to hear from those in the trans\, non-binary\, intersex\, and other underrepresented and under-published communities.

SUMMARY:PFN - inScribe: Journal of Creative Writing Seeks Submissions on "Birds"
DESCRIPTION:WRITE FOR US\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\ninScribe\n\n\nJOURNAL OF CREATIVE WRITING\n\n\n\nWe accept original submissions of short fiction in any genre (up to 3500 words)\, both formal and free verse poetry (up to 50 lines) as well as works of creative nonfiction (up to 3500 words). \nSubmissions for \nISSUE 05 // THEME: BIRDS \n are now OPEN \nuntil December 16\, 2022 \n\n\n\nThe place of birds in literature and human experience is as rich and varied as the 10\,000 plus species that grace our wonderful planet.

SUMMARY:F - The Molotov Cocktail Flash Contest Series Call for Submissions.  Theme: "Flash Monster"
DESCRIPTION:It’s after midnight\nsomewhere…\n \nSubmit to Flash Monster\nWell\, here’s something different. We’ve been running Halloween contests since 2014\, but this year\, in true nightmare before Christmas fashion\, we’re kicking off our Flash Monster contest mid-October and running it up until the holidays are upon us. \nThat may change the calculations on your lab-grown abominations a little bit; might be time to make your sins against Nature a touch more festive. \nThere’s plenty of room for holiday-themed horror here\, but we also don’t want to see 50 killer Santa Clauses or dozens of Krampuses (Krampi?). Mix things up. Winter themes work (we do love a good snow beast). So do monsters totally unrelated to winter and the holidays. \nIf you participated in or read our Folked-Up Flash contest earlier this year\, you know we’ve got a wicked hankering for folk horror\, and that’s not a bad angle to go here either. Tap into ancient pagan rituals. Subvert traditional holiday tropes. Gifts with sinister implications? Granted wishes with ironic outcomes? The holidays are a good time to mess with classical elements. A little sentimentality with your depravity? Sure\, why the hell not. We’re not monsters. Or just write about something gnarly and weird; that’s the whole point\, after all. \nWe like literary approaches\, but we also dig genre and pulpy takes as well.  Art house or grindhouse. Take a new approach to well-established monster archetypes or create something nobody’s ever seen before. \nYou can check out some past Flash Monster issues here\, here\, here\, here\, here\, here. \nThe top three entries will win cash money. \n$300 for Flash Monster 2022 winner \n$200 for 2nd place \n$100 for 3rd place \nWe also give mad respect to 4th-10th place\,\npublishing them in our Flash Monster mega-issue\nand in a future print anthology\, with contributor copy included. \n \nSubmit to Flash Monster\nFollow these guidelines\, and your best nightmare before Christmas could come true. \n– All submissions must absolutely be under 1\,000 words\, and we tend to look more kindly on 750 or fewer because… THREE-HEADED SQUIRREL! \n– All contest submissions will be read blind\, so we won’t be playing favorites. \n– Please paste your entry into the corresponding field. Do not list your name anywhere or we’ll assume you won’t be able to accurately recite the words that break the curse. \n– Submissions must be previously unpublished work\, and you will retain copyright (duh). By entering this contest\, you give us permission to publish your work (if selected for our Top 10) both online and in a future print anthology. \n– No limit on how many entries you can submit\, but you must submit them one at a time. Don’t just mash them all in there. \n– Contest soft deadline is end of day (PST) Monday\, December 5th\, 2022. Winners announced on December 19th and we’ll unwrap the Flash Monster 2022 mega-issue before the eggnog turns. \n– And\, most importantly\, this is a FLASH MONSTER contest\, so you must include some sort of literal or figurative monster. But again\, this can be in any form imaginable.

SUMMARY:PFN - Young Ravens Literary Review Seeks Submissions on "Exploring and Celebrating Womanhood"
DESCRIPTION:Issue 17 Call for Submissions!\nExploring & Celebrating Womanhood\n\n\n \nThe Priestess Tagerem\n\n\n\nWomanhood is a complex experience that involves more than motherhood or traditional expressions of femininity. From Virginia Woolf’s “a room of her own” to Maya Angelou’s “I’m a woman/ Phenomenally./ Phenomenal woman\,/ That’s me\,” women have claimed their voices unapologetically as writers and creators. \nBut there is still not enough of women’s voices and perspectives in the world. In Issue 17 of Young Ravens\, we are exploring womanhood in all forms as woven into our lives\, histories\, fairy tales\, and myths. We are looking to explore the full range of women’s experiences\, as creators\, historical figures\, the Divine Feminine\, and beyond. \nWe are inspired by a statue of the Egyptian priestess Tagerem\, who was seen as the wife of the god Re. In a version of Tagerem that exists at the Met\, she is bisected at her center. She was thought to display the ideal female form\, but we do not see her face; we only know half of her story. During the Late Period of Egyptian history\, women gained more opportunities “to record elements of their own biographies on stelae and statues” (The Metropolitan Museum of Art). \nWhat are the stories of women that are missing? Whose voices and perspectives need to be expressed today\, carved on monuments and chalked across busy streets? Ideas we would love to see you explore include: \n—Woman as a free and variable being: human.\n—Woman as seared into ink and tale\, from Eve to Cinderella. Can you trace their faces in your own\, or the other women in your lives?\n—Do you remember the day when you realized that your mother had another name before “mom\,” and wondered at the mystery of her?\n—Woman as God. What is the feminine divine\, and how can it be recovered or honored?\n—Woman as World. How does the natural world reflect the many facets of femininity?\n—Woman within. Share those moments that have broken and remade you again and again.\n—Women among us. Their stories shine and fall into shadow alongside your own—who are they? \nWe accept fiction\, nonfiction\, and poetry of all flavors\, from free verse to found.  We welcome voices across the gender spectrum\, including LGBTQIA+ creators. \nSubmissions will be accepted until December 13th\, 2022. Please check out our submission guidelines for further information.

SUMMARY:PFN - 86 Logic: A Celebration of Artists from the Hospitality Industry Seeks Submissions for Issue #10
DESCRIPTION:86 Logic is a quarterly magazine representing artists with roots in the hospitality industry. It is made up of a team of veteran bartenders\, servers\, and hosts who love discovering how art and hospitality intersect. Submissions are open to anyone who has worked in the industry—restaurants\, bars\, and hotels\, to name a few. \nWe pride ourselves in having an easy submission process. Unlike most publications\, printed or otherwise\, we have no restrictions on file type\, size of submission (though our ‘zine is only so big)\, or on the type of work submitted. We feel this keeps us open to all printable genres. \nCurrently we are accepting any and all forms of work including but not limited to stories\, poems and non-fiction for our print magazine that explores\, promotes\, and celebrates artists with roots in the hospitality industry.\nYou must have worked in the hospitality industry — restaurants\, bars\, hotels\, etc. — at some point in your life.  \nSubmission Guidelines are simple. There are none. Show us what you have\, however you have it.  If we like it\, we’ll work with you to get it suitable for publication. We very likely won’t publish your 85 page novella\, but we might use some of it. \nEach selected submitter will receive a copy* of the issue featuring their work. Unfortunately\, we are unable to monetarily compensate artists at this time. \n*International contributors will receive digital versions

SUMMARY:PFN - The Medley Seeking Submissions on the Theme: "Mosaic"
DESCRIPTION:The Medley is now accepting entries for its eighth issue! The submission window will remain open till 11th December 2022. \n​\nFor this issue\, we are on the lookout for works that articulate the theme\, MOSAIC. \nMosaic is a form of art that originally blossomed on the walls of ancient Greek aristocrats. This centuries-old art form uses fragments of multicolored rocks\, glasses\, or other seemingly scrapable materials to weave itself into an exquisite artwork. Despite its fragmentary nature\, the art form comes together as a whole to depict the beauty present in the mundane.\n\nHumanity\, as an inspiration for art\, also forms a mosaic of sorts. The complex and layered emotions\, the multifarious expressions of identities that integrate into an individual or the cultural and social fusion formed by the diversity of people in our daily life\, are transposed forms of mosaic art. From a myriad of shades\, contrasting ideas\, and challenging stories\, an elegant whole can be formed. So\, create your own literary mosaic with personalized experiences and convoluted emotions.\nNon-themed submissions will also be accepted for the issue.

SUMMARY:P - As Above So Below Seeks Submissions With the Theme: "Blood/Water"
DESCRIPTION:The title comes from the axiom: “as above so below\, as within so without” and dates to the 8/9th century where its earliest recording is in Arabic on the Emerald Tablet. There are many interpretations and a great deal of scholarly research based on it\, but in essence I think of it as: all life is interconnected; the microcosm reflects the macrocosm. \nThe theme is Blood / Water \nTopics you could explore: lakes\, the sea\, streams\, rivers\, inner-replenishment\, what’s taken for granted/seen as special\, puddles\, watering cans\, kettles not boiling\, your favourite hot beverage\, inter-connectivity\, veins being like branches of a tree\, moon cycles\, seven generations back/seven generations forwards\, water memory\, blood memory… \nSubmissions\n\n\nSend 1 – 4 poems in one single document \n\n\nMaximum 40 lines each \n\n\nInclude a brief paragraph saying what inspired the poem(s) within the body of the email \n\n\nA biography of no more than 75 words within the body of the email \n\n\nAttach a Word Doc\, 12 point\, Times New Roman \n\n\nPublished and unpublished poems are welcome\, as long as credits are provided   \nDeadline is midnight on 21st November

SUMMARY:PFN - Atticus Review Seeks Submissions on the Theme of "Language"
DESCRIPTION:The writing in Atticus Review is unashamed\, unadorned\, and unafraid. The stories we love are often lonely\, and sometimes ugly\, but we’re also deeply attracted to the bright\, bold\, and hope-infused. \nWe like hybrid\, unconventional work that pushes boundaries\, elevates and edifies on an intellectual level\, that investigates the inscrutable essence of a thing\, that avoids artifice to stand firmly in its unique voice. \nISSUE THREE: OPEN with a Special Folio on Language\nFor the December 2022 issue\, Atticus Review is looking for work for our open-themed issue. We are\, however\,  especially interested in work that engages with notions and explorations  of language. We are open to any and all interpretations of the prompt. \nThank you for your interest in publishing your work with Atticus Review. We are an online journal that publishes stories\, poems\, essays and other forms of creative digital media. \n Poetry: \nPlease submit 1-5 poems through Submittable. Simultaneous submissions are OK. In terms of style\, our bias tends toward lyrical narrative poetry\, though we’re definitely willing to read whatever — so long as it’s your best work! In other words\, think of your poems less as sermons and more as snapshots. They can be shocking\, serene\, heartbreaking\, elegant\, savage\, narrative\, surreal — or all of the above. \nFiction: \nSend one story of up to 4\,000 words. We especially like Flash Fiction. Stories that are 800 words or less. Stories that don’t need a lot of space to get their point across. If you are submitting Flash\, then you can submit up to three stories. \nWe want stories that engage our hearts and minds. Language matters. We like lyrical. We like dark humor. Most of all\, perhaps\, we want stories that matter. \nCreative Nonfiction:\nSend one piece of up to 3\,000 words. We especially like Flash CNF: pieces that are 800 words or less. \nWith  CNF\, we like seeing the small set against the big picture. We want to  know why this matters. We want writing that engages our hearts and minds. We like lyrical. We like dark humor. We like pieces that look inward and confront shame.
