Eye to theTelescope is a quarterly online journal
that’s been publishing science fiction, fantasy, horror, and other speculative
poetry, under the auspices of the Science Fiction & Fantasy Poetry
Association, since 2011. Currently seeking poetry that address all aspects of
garbage in the speculative realm. Pays 3 cents / word U.S.

Arsenika is a quarterly journal
of speculative poetry and flash fiction established in December 2016. Edited by S. Qiouyi Lu, Arsenika looks for gorgeous, emotional writing:
poetry that shimmers with multiple layers of meaning, prose that explores and
interrogates. From hard science fiction to the lightest of magical realism, Arsenika is not bound by genre, though we do
prefer the speculative.
Arsenika seeks marginalized
voices. We work to uplift those outside the center and believe that identity is
not the defining trait of a piece of work, but that unnameable quality that
weaves through prose and poetry to give it its nuance.
Each issue features at minimum two pieces of flash fiction
and four poems and will be offered online and in PDF, ePub, and mobi formats.
Currently seeking flash fiction (up to 1,000 words) and
poetry. Pays $60 U.S. for fiction and $30 US for poetry.
Deadline: June 15, 2017. Submission guidelines here.
Black Rabbit (Cambridge, Philadelphia & Montreal) is a quarterly publication devoted to highest truth. All lies are forbidden. Seeking short stories 1,000 - 1,500 words (that limit being pretty flexible) "with a literary tone and weird tendencies." Pays $25 U.S.
Deadline: June 21, 2017. Submission guidelines here.

opening to submissions for another anthology. The details are below.
Thanks.
Elesha
Pen and
Kink Publishing is pleased to announce volume #3 of our
Triskaidekaphilia anthology series: Transformed!
Release the monster within. Nothing is quite so deliciously freeing as
caving to your instincts. For centuries, shapeshifters have personified our
impulse to bow to our animalistic nature. From lycans to skin-walkers and
everything in between, shapeshifters give us a chance to connect with our
inner-selves and celebrate our intriguing differences, our passions, and
ultimately our humanity through their necessity of striking a balance between
their human selves and supernatural selves.
We are seeking romantic and heated stories that delve into the different
challenges all shifters face while navigating the mysterious paths of love and
forbidden attraction.
Transformed will be an exploration of our dark side through characters
that challenge the human experience by simply being different.
Stories between 1,000 – 15,000 words long (query
for longer)
Open to all gender pairings and multiple partners
Simultaneous & multiple submissions = No
Pays $10 U.S. and a paperback copy of
the anthology in exchange for the non-exclusive right to include the story in
both the print and electronic versions of the anthology.
Submission Period: June 1st, 2017—August 31st 2017.
About the Editor: Charlie Watson is a freelance
editor ready to make her mark on the Edmonton writing community. About the Series: Triskaidekaphilia is the love of the number
thirteen. It’s also the name of our anthology series which explores the more
shadowy corners of romance and erotica. There will be 13 volumes in total, each
of which will be released on a Friday the 13th.
