For this theme, we want a humanized yet nonhuman narrative: give us your work that blinds us and binds us, turns rivers into veins and thunder into circuitry. Build us a blueprint that cartographs the way to your True North.

Send us work for this issue about conflicts that transported you through the emotional spectrum between hope and despair and that left you without a feeling of which way to turn and/or to whom.

We're looking for fiction and poetry that takes its inspiration from the world around us, especially that which somehow engages with the current Phylum.

Allegro Poetry Magazine seeks to publish the best contemporary poetry.

Games of chance, fate, the unknown. We’re interested in reversals of fortune, luck, the house. Spin the wheel of your imagination and send us your best work.

Something we all have in common: getting older. How are you experiencing the phases of your life?

We want to hear about your school stories. Maybe these are childhood memories or maybe as a parent you have a new perspective on what it means to be a student these days. Or, maybe you are a teacher with some serious stories to share.

We’re interested in the thin line between indulgence and survival. Between love and addiction.
What do you hunger for?

We want writing that speaks to the weight and wonder of living as First Nations people — where past, present and future aren’t separate but walk together.

We encourage submitters to simply have fun with the theme, or ignore it entirely.

This issue, we’re looking for works that expand beyond fixed identities and toward more expansive ways of being.

January is traditionally the moment for grand resolutions promising self-improvement, but fall is a season for new beginnings, too, with summer ending (in the northern hemisphere, at least) and school starting up again. What have you put away? What should you?

Is less more? Is more too much? Can less be enough? Is more actually more? We want this theme to feel open to countless interpretations.

Life is messy; how you respond is what makes you human.

Make us laugh. Make us fume. Make us grateful. Make us cry. Make us feel.

While the theme and title of this issue is ‘Signal’ we encourage you to interpret it creatively.

Whether manic, abstract, or mundane—this isn't the place you need to mask what makes your work strange; unusual; wonderful.

Have fun! Be playful and most importantly, submit well thought out multilayered work that speaks to your deepest libidinal human drive in Jungian terms, the desire to express oneself beyond the pale!

Stripes Literary Magazine is always on the lookout for raw, different and divergent poetry.

For this issue, F(r)iction seeks to uncover the redacted with Censored! Let’s investigate the burning of books, witches, and bridges as we delve into all things sanitized.

We aim to center writers and artists who have been marginalized and underrepresented, or historically misrepresented, and encourage submissions that engage with issues of racial, social, economic, gender, and environmental justice.

We are looking for stories of people or things that have been erased from history, the mechanism by which that erasure is effected, or the consequence of erasure.

We love the concept of narrative - we want to read storytellers telling stories in whatever form that takes for you.
