SUMMARY:PFN - Great Lakes Review Seeks Submissions for the Indigenous Issue
DESCRIPTION:Voluntary Fees: This project accepts voluntary fees for “tip jar” submissions.\nSubmit\n\n\nGreat Lakes Review is open for submissions to our Special Indigenous Issue from July 1\, 2022\, through September 1\, 2022. Regular submissions will be open starting September 1\, 2022. \nApproximately 120 bands of Indigenous and First Nations peoples have occupied the Great Lakes basin over the course of recorded history. As the only regional literary journal solely dedicated to the Great Lakes region\, Great Lakes Review is excited to curate an Indigenous special issue. By doing so\, we aspire to bring awareness of the journal to Indigenous and First Nations writers of the Great Lakes and abroad\, in turn allowing us to share their creations with the world. \nAs always\, we welcome fiction\, poetry\, and nonfiction created in and about the Great Lakes region. However\, for this issue\, we’re accepting work by Indigenous and First Nations creators only. These creators can be native to the region\, native to other regions but creating work from within the basin of the Great Lakes\, or native to other regions but creating work informed by the Great Lakes region. \nRegional Connection\nBe certain that either you are or have been a resident of the Great Lakes Region of the United States or Canada or that the manuscript you’re submitting involves the Great Lakes region of either the United States or Canada. Great Lakes Review is a regional journal; therefore\, the regional connection must be apparent. \nJust to be clear\, you can be a current or past resident of the Great Lakes and submit work that doesn’t necessarily have to do with the region\, or you can be from somewhere other than the Great Lakes but submit work in which the Great Lakes is integral to the work. In short\, you cannot be from somewhere other than the Great Lakes and submit work that has nothing to do with the Great Lakes. \nSubmission Statement\nWith your submission\, please include a Submission Statement of three to five sentences explaining either your connection to the Great Lakes or your work’s connection to the Great Lakes. Please include this statement in the Submittable form and in the body of your submission as well\, preferably at the start. \nPlease do not include explicit identifying information (name\, race\, gender\, sexual orientation\, or past publications) in your Submission Statement. We want to judge all submissions on the quality of the writing only. The Submission Statements will dictate whether or not the editors proceed considering your submission\, so please take time to ensure your statement is anonymous and the connection to the region is explicit.

SUMMARY:PN - Parabola Magazine's Call for Submissions on the Theme of "Darkness & Light"
DESCRIPTION:Parabola is a quarterly journal devoted to the exploration of the quest for meaning as it is expressed in the world’s myths\, symbols\, and religious traditions\, with particular emphasis on the relationship between this store of wisdom and our modern life. \nEach issue of Parabola is organized around a theme. Examples of themes we have explored in the past include The Quest\, Happiness\, The Wild\, and Presence. \nParabola welcomes original essays and translations. We look for lively\, penetrating material unencumbered by jargon or academic argument. We prefer well-researched\, objective\, and unsentimental pieces that are grounded in one or more religious or cultural tradition; articles that focus on dreams\, visions\, or other very personal experiences are unlikely to be accepted. \nSend your submission to the email or physical address listed below\, along with a brief autobiography (2-3 sentences). Emails should include the article attached as a .doc\, .txt\, or .rtf file. \nPoetry must be submitted as email attachments in the following file formats: \n.doc (MS word)\,\n.txt (standard text file) or\n.rtf (formatted text file). \nSubmissions in other formats will not be considered. \nSubmissions are limited to a maximum of five (5) poems per author.\nThe file must be transmitted under the author’s last name\, with all poems in a single file\, separated by page breaks. Each page must have the author’s name on it. \nSubmissions should be sent by email to poetry@parabola.org

SUMMARY:PFN - Moss Piglet Zine Call for Submissions.  Theme: "Lost or Found"
DESCRIPTION:Our theme is Lost or Found. You can pick one – Lost or Found– or both to use as an onramp for your creative journey.  You may think literally on loss\, such as lost things\, people\, or pets\, or metaphorically: loss of innocence\, for example.  The same applies to the word\, found. Consider things that are found – a new route through your town or a lost pet or doll\, or think of metaphors for found\, such as finding a new lease on life.\nThe Krazines  welcome submissions of prose and poetry for publication in its full-color\, monthly zine\, Moss Piglet.  Anyone of any age or talent level may contribute work (but please\, no politics.)  Each issue has a theme in place to jumpstart your imagination.  You may interpret these themes widely.\n\n\n\n\nSubmissions of Stories\, Essays & Poems\n\nPlease send text submissions in .doc\, .docx or PDF formats to info@krazines.com.  We are more apt to accept short works\, as our publication is digest-size\, but we don’t have a word limit.  Check out some of our past issues to get an idea on the style and length of written work that we have published. \nYou may provide multiple submissions\, but don’t go crazy. Someone has to read all of the stuff that comes across our desk. We’re OK with simultaneous submissions and previously published work. Just cite the place where your writing previously appeared. If you have a fancy title like Poet Laureate\, Writer-In-Residence\, or you have been knighted by the Queen\, we’d be happy to include that information in our publication right next to your name.

SUMMARY:P - Paddler Press Call for Submissions.  Theme: "Changes"
DESCRIPTION:At Paddler Press\, we are outdoors people and our site pages are named accordingly to canoe trip lingo. The Put In is where the trip begins. The Trip Log is a reminder of where we’ve been\, the details of The Journey. The Portage is where we get out of our boats\, stretch our legs\, and carry our junk to the next put in. The Campfire is where we drink coffee\, tell stories (for the umpteenth time)\, laugh\, and many time\, just sit and reflect. \nVolume 6’s theme is Changes. This issue will be released in October\, when many of us will be putting the summer things away and embracing the crisp fall air\, early frosts\, and beautiful colours. Changes can be physical or philosophical\, real or imagined. What are changes to you? \nAll work should reflect the theme of Changes as you interpret it. If you’re not sure\, please send it in anyway. We’d love to read your work. \nSubmission Guidelines\nSubmission guidelines are pretty straightforward. Please read\, Especially #2. \n\nPlease submit up to five original poems in one .docx or PDF file attached to your email. We are looking for poems that are not overly long\, and would also enjoy and encourage micro-poetry. If you’re not sure\, send it along anyway. Simultaneous submissions are fine\, but let us know if your work is picked up elsewhere (and huge congratulations!). Poems should be previously unpublished. Poems appearing on your personal blog or social media are fine\, though we’d love to be able to share brand new works with the world. Include a third-person bio of 100 words or so. Please limit your recent publications to three or four. Include social media handles if you’d like and we’ll support you online. Send your work to paddler@canoeideas.ca.\nPlease use last name – submission as the subject and the name of your document. This makes finding your work in our downloads folder much easier. Really. Please. I beg of you. Why won’t people do this?\n\nI will do my very best to get back to you as soon as I can. If you don’t hear from me within a month after submitting\, give me a shout. Life gets busy and this isn’t my regular gig.

SUMMARY:PFN - Passager Journal Seeks Submissions on the Theme of "Ancestral or Generational Trauma"
DESCRIPTION:Writers must be age 50 or older at the time of publication to submit.\nPublication: January/February\, Guest Editor: Christine Lincoln\nAccepted genres: poetry\, memoir\, short fiction\nUp to 5 poems\, 40-line max ea. OR 4\,000 words of prose\nNo reading fee\nAbout the theme: Ancestral or Generational Trauma \nWe hear the words ancestral trauma and we might immediately think of childhood sexual or physical abuse\, or the dissolution of our parents’ marriage\, or the discovery some awful family secret. Secrets and generational trauma often go hand in hand. \nBut there are other less obvious ways we can and\, most likely\, have experienced ancestral trauma. Generational trauma can be something as seemingly insignificant as being raised to fear people who live in the inner city\, or something as quietly insidious as growing up poor\, or it could be something as prevalent as bearing witness in a family that did not treat its women with the highest regard. \nThe truth is only you\, the writer\, the artist\, can decide the kinds of trauma that have been passed down as easily as mother’s milk\, the limiting beliefs and damaging ideas handed down as succinctly as family myths and bedtime stories—the legacy of pain that has been perpetuated by our ancestors\, because they could not do any better\, but also the generational trauma we have inadvertently continued\, because of our inability—until now—to look straight into the shadows where these things hide\, to heal\, and transcend\, create a new legacy. \nWriters must be age 50 or older at the time of publication to submit. \nYou can send paper submissions by postal mail or submit online via Submittable.

SUMMARY:PFN - The Parliament Literary Journal Seeks Submissions on "Ecstasy & Despair"
DESCRIPTION:Fall 2022: ECSTASY & DESPAIR \n\n\nIf you’ve been with The Parliament Literary Journal before\, you know that there won’t be much direction given about what we are specifically looking for when we announce a theme. And that’s because we have no idea what we are looking for. We long ago learned never to expect anything from our contributors. Nor would we ever stifle the limits of your creativity. \nOur Fall 2022 issue’s theme is ECSTASY & DESPAIR. \nCreate about one. Create about both. Interpret those words as you will. We won’t stop you. \nWe can’t wait to see what is stirred. \n

SUMMARY:PFN - Capsule Stories Winter 2022 Edition: Hibernation
DESCRIPTION:Our Winter 2022 Edition theme is Hibernation. We’re looking for stories\, poems\, and essays about hunkering down for the winter and quietly resting. Write about animals hibernating\, or write about you hibernating. Send us pieces full of longing and patience as you hide out\, slow down\, and wait for the end of winter. Write about snow days or sick days and taking a break instead of being productive. Write about fallow periods for the land—and your writing. We are especially interested in quiet\, lingering pieces that take place in winter and evoke the feeling of the season. \nCapsule Stories Submission Guidelines\nWe accept short stories\, poems\, and remarkably written essays. For short stories and essays\, we’re interested in pieces under 3\,000 words. You may include up to five poems in a single poetry submission (please send them all in one Word document)\, and only send one story or essay at a time. Please send previously unpublished work only (“published” includes pieces that have been posted or made publicly available on a blog\, website\, or social media platform). You may only submit one submission per edition. Simultaneous submissions are okay\, but please let us know if your submission is accepted elsewhere. Please include a brief third-person bio with your submission\, and attach your submissions in a Word document (no PDFs unless your poetry has very specific formatting\, please!). \nAll writers are welcome to submit\, especially writers of color\, LGBTQ writers\, writers with disabilities\, and all writers from marginalized backgrounds. \nContributors who have been previously published in Capsule Stories are welcome to submit. There is no waiting period or restriction on submitting after we’ve published your work. \nCapsule Stories does not tolerate plagiarism. We run pieces through Copyscape to check for duplicate content before sending acceptances. \nA note on privacy and safety: You will be asked to enter your mailing address before submitting on Submittable\, as this speeds up our acceptance process. However\, we want you to feel safe. If you do not want to enter your address into Submittable for privacy or safety reasons\, please enter a placeholder and let us know in your cover letter that the address is a placeholder. Likewise\, feel free to enter a placeholder phone number as we don’t need that info from you. \nWe are currently reading submissions for our blog and Capsule Stories Winter 2022 Edition: Hibernation.

SUMMARY:PFN - Reckoning: creative writing on environmental justice Seeks Submissions on the Theme: "Oceans"
DESCRIPTION:Submit\n\n\nWe’re currently reading for Reckoning 7; the theme is oceans\, and the deadline is September 22\, 2022. Read the submission calls from editors Tim Fab-Eme (poetry)\, Priya Chand (nonfiction) and Octavia Cade (fiction). \nTo see what we’re looking for\, try Reckoning 6\, 5\, 4\, 3\, 2\, 1\, the interviews\, twitter\, or even LCRW 33. \nThe short version: creative writing about environmental justice. The fiction we publish is mostly\, but not exclusively\, speculative; the nonfiction is more creative than journalistic\, the poetry tends towards the narrative\, preferably with some thematic heft. The heart of what we want is your personal\, visceral\, idiosyncratic understanding of the world and the people in it as it has been\, as it is\, as it will be\, as it could be\, as a consequence of humanity’s relationship with the earth. \nWe are always seeking work from Indigenous writers and artists\, writers and artists of color\, queer and trans writers and artists\, and anyone who has suffered the consequences\, intended or otherwise\, of dominant society’s systemic disconnect with and mistreatment of the natural world. And we’re seeking new ways to reach all of the above. Seriously\, if you know of a way we can do that\, please share. \nWe’d love to publish more work in translation! We’re currently open to considering writing in Spanish\, French or Swedish for potential translation. For work already translated into English\, we pay the same rate to both author and translator. \nWe don’t publish ecofascism or work we perceive to be prejudiced in any form\, including sexism\, racism\, ableism\, ageism. We reserve the right to point it out—respectfully—when we see it\, though we’re as prone to mistakes and misunderstanding as anyone else. Here’s a start on a list of what else doesn’t work for us. \nWe’re no longer accepting submissions by email; queries are ok\, though not necessary. Simultaneous submissions are ok. Multiple submissions are discouraged\, except for poetry\, where we prefer 3-5 poems or 10 pages\, whichever is shorter\, combined in a single document. Feel free to submit again after you hear back. Query for reprints. Length: 0 – 20\,000 words (query for longer). Response time has ranged from one to four months and is slowest October – January as we’re putting together the new issue. \nThere are no fees to submit. Payment is 8 cents per word (US) for prose\, $30 per page for poetry\, art negotiable\, minimum $25 per piece. Sample contract is here. \nSubmit your work via Moksha! \nAll of the above shall be subject hopefully not to too much change but certainly to clarification\, evolution and adaptation.
