Check out our\u00a0About<\/a>\u00a0page to see what kind of work we’re looking for. We’re dedicated to realism and refuse to sugarcoat the reality of our fallen world, but please keep explicit and graphic details as tasteful as possible. We’re not looking for shock value, but for vulnerable and true human experience.\u00a0Please see specific guidelines below, and send all submissions to\u00a0solidfoodpress@outlook.com<\/a>\u00a0with the appropriate subject line: ONLINE JOURNAL SUBMISSION, or PRINT EDITION SUBMISSION.<\/span><\/p>\n

Theme:\u00a0Paradoxa\u00a0<\/a><\/span>(Read the full theme essay on Substack!)<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

We exist as a paradoxical people who worship a paradoxical God in a paradoxical world. Jesus is both servant and King, the most intimate friend and the Name Above All Names. We as his people can worship him wholeheartedly and still sin. We can love to the point of giving up our lives for strangers, and yet we can also hate in some of the most destructive ways. We exist in a world that often feels unfairly broken, but is yet so full of unexplainable and surprising beauty.<\/p>\n

For this edition, play with the element of surprise. Reflect on the remarkable. Or wrestle with the idea that two things can exist in tension at same time. Resolve it\u2014or don\u2019t! You have our attention either way. In both your work and the creative processes that form it, rest in the fact that not everything needs to make sense at first glance. There is awe in a mystery\u2014or story\u2014slowly unfolded. There is an acute and deeply wonderful attention in and to the anomaly.<\/p>\n

So please, have fun with this theme! Let\u2019s see the weird, the strange, the remarkable, the impossible. Let us feel the weight of God\u2019s glory in surprising places.<\/p>\n

If your work is accepted, you grant us\u00a0first or second serial rights, and then all rights revert back to you upon publication. We would like to be credited if your work is pu<\/span>blished here for the first time when\/if you submit it again somewhere else.\u00a0Simultaneous submissions are welcome, but please let us know if your work has been accepted elsewhere.<\/span><\/p>\n

Solid Food’s reading period is roughly 4-6 weeks, and only those accepted for publication will be notified.\u00a0As much as we would love to offer feedback to all submissions, it is just not feasible at this time. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
