Speculative Nonfiction #9: Promise<\/strong><\/p>\n

The theme for this issue is Promise. We look forward to reading your work about how you relate to this word:\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Consider the promise as widely as you can imagine. Promises made, promises lost, promises broken, promises never uttered, promises made mute by time, promises betrayed, promises reaffirmed.<\/p>\n

Promise is one of the few words that has no direct opposite. It is not a Janus word, meaning two things at once. You can break a promise like a locket, but can a broken promise be repaired?<\/p>\n

The Latin word for promise is promissum from \u201csend forth\u201d so ponder, imagine, explore and send forth your promising speculations. We eagerly await them.<\/p>\n

Writers\u2019 Guidelines: <\/strong>In general, we publish work of 2,500 words or less. This is not a strict limit, however we ask that writers only submit work that aligns with the theme of the issue and is speculative in nature.<\/p>\n

Reading Period:\u00a0<\/strong>We will be accepting submissions for Issue #9 through June 15, 2025<\/p>\n
