Hello,
Brian.
Can you share a call for submissions with your
readers?
We are Twisted Sister – a brand
spankin’ new lit mag looking for submissions. We want those weird twisted
pieces that nobody knows quite what to do with. Blood spatter and gore friendly
– we want short, sharp, and potentially violent, but still feminist and queer
positive. (I know, eh?)
We’ll take what you got, but the shorter the
better. Flash, short stories, essays and even some poems.
Check it all out here.
Thank you,
Twisted
Sister
Circa is an online journal
dedicated to short historical fiction. “Have
you got a love story set during the Great Fire of London, a mystery among the
Mayans, an homage to Ancient Rome? We’d love to read it! We love vintage, we love retro, and we love great
writing.
“To increase your chances of
acceptance, remember Circa loves anything that provides a fresh
take on history and resists cliche. We love genre-crossing, speculative
and alternative history, too. Be original, bold and striking!
Circa accepts fiction, creative nonfiction, and articles on
an historical theme. Short stories and creative non-fiction should
not exceed 2,500 words and articles should not exceed 800 words. As a
Canadian journal, we have a special place in our heart for Canadian
stories. Novel excerpts are welcome, but only if they can stand alone.
Full submission guidelines here.
Canadian Stories is a folk magazine featuring family stories, personal experiences and
memories of the past. It is written by "ordinary" Canadians sharing
material that is extraordinary. Readers identify strongly with our stories and
reach back into their own memory banks to find pleasure and strength in their
own histories.
What is a "folk magazine"? Edith Fowke defined "folklore" as "material that is handed on by tradition, either by word of mouth or by custom and practice." (Folklore of Canada, McClelland and Stewart, 1976) We feel that it is important to publish stories of the past to preserve them for future generations.
In CANADIAN STORIES, you will find excerpts from olden-day memoirs alongside new material set in the present. We have also published essays speculating about the future. We like family stories about pioneer days, and about life during the Great Depression and the World Wars. Country life, the joys of moving, encounters with animals, vacation experiences, the significance of Remembrance Day -- these are just some of the themes that have been presented in CANADIAN STORIES.
Traditional, structured poems and free verse sprinkle our pages. Children's stories are welcome; in fact, we have a young writers' page for authors aged ten to nineteen. Some fiction is also offered, particularly if it is Canadian in setting, plot or characters. Any topic is considered as long as it meets our Authors' Guidelines.
Although our reading diet may range from cereal boxes to thousand page tomes,
" we must have something to read "!
We hope you will enjoy CANADIAN STORIES and share some of your stories with us.
