Looking for any and all work that matches our selected theme.

General call

Literary arts magazine focused on embodied and feminist poetics.

Winterfat Presse is a feminist poetry collective. Our reading room, writing circle, and publication celebrates the body in all of its revolutions and uprisings, of which there are many. We believe in the power of live spoken-word events to invite the unpredictable exchange of voices, writing circles that ask us to enter our bodies in informal and thus, more lasting ways—all exchanges that poetically challenge our predispositions and open new perspectives.

Winterfat is a space where self-expression is held, legitimized, and accessible. Our reading rooms always feature a selected author whose work explores resistance through its embodied poetics, and our writing groups always center intuitive prompts that challenge the 'truths' the empire feeds us about our lives. Our events take place in New York City and Berlin.

Winterfat Literary Magazine

What we seek is submissions in fantasy, horror, and science fiction, the dark, edgy stuff that pushes boundaries and makes us feel with you. They are deliberately seeking themes which explore social (in)justice and policitcal rhetoric. Don't play it safe and do make a statement.

Who? Everyone that has been marginalized.
Where? That's a secret.
Why? Because the writing industry is difficult. On average, you are lucky to get a rejection, with no feedback. We offer a light structural edit to enhance your chances of getting published elsewhere. It's our way of being anti-capitalist.

Counter-culture and Subversive

Based in Australia and run by the enigmatic Dark Bitch. We want boundary-pushing, gritty flash fiction under 1K words exploring social (in)justice and political rhetoric. A free, zero-fee passion project giving marginalized voices a shot.

The Big Fing C* is a zero-fee passion project launched in mid-2026, built on an idea developed over two years. Curated by Dark Bitch—a recent Australian creative writing, professional writing, and publishing graduate currently pursuing an unrelated honours degree—the magazine operates as an anonymous, anti-gatekeeper space for raw talent.

We value above all the neurodivergent voice, alongside marginalized creators from Queer, ethnic, and religious minority communities. We seek dark, edgy fantasy and science fiction under 1,000 words that pushes boundaries and explores social (in)justice and political rhetoric.

Our Unique Model: On the 1st of every month, we open to accept exactly 20 submissions. We select one standout piece to feature on our homepage for the entire month. For the remaining 19 writers, the editor provides a complimentary, light structural review to help enhance their craft and bypass the discouragement of sterile, automated rejection letters.

The Big Fing C*

Poetry. (1-3) poems. See website for more details.

SEND US YOUR WEIRDEST FICTION

Fiction that crosses genres and blurs the lines between literary and genre. Work that keeps us up at night, stories that make us laugh, and the strangest dreams that pop out of your odd little noggin. Bold ideas, tight prose, snappy dialogue, speculative elements. Something we haven’t seen and, hell, maybe something we’ll wish we hadn’t. Mysterious, haunted mansions, crackling campfires, electric space stations, lonely abandoned farmhouses. That story that you hold close to your heart but has been rejected a billion times, but you keep sending it out because you believe in it, damnit? Yeah. Send us that one.

No fan fiction. We can’t publish anything that violates someone else’s copyright. We’d prefer you come up with your own characters and worlds. The exception to this being mythological fiction, in which case, make it modern and interesting as you breathe new life into old (public domain) tales.

No hard-core erotica. I mean, if you send us something hot, we’ll read it, but if you make Ratty blush, we probably can’t publish it. That being said, we are not prudes. If you can walk the line without crossing it, by all means, send it in if you think it fits our vibe.

No hard-core violence and gore. We don’t want to read it, even with a trigger warning. Keep it off-page please.

DON’T SELF REJECT

If you love your story and think it fits our vibes, why not take a shot and send it our way? Worst case if you’ll get another rejection to add to your pile, and maybe we’ll love it.

Monthly Drabble Call

In a world torn by war and conflict, peace seems elusive everywhere. And yet, if we look closely enough, we can find it in the very places and spaces we inhabit every day. At Mukoli, we believe that peace is as intrinsic to the human condition as violence and conflict. We just need to recognize and amplify it, making it visible. That is how we take the power away from violence and drown the voices that incite conflict.<div><br><div>With this as our starting point for exploring the relationship between place and peace, we are seeking submissions for Issue 6 of Mukoli. We invite you to interpret the theme as you will, so long as you are placing peace and finding it a ground to stand on. Show us how you connect to it.</div><div>Here are some of the questions that the theme raised for us.</div><div><br></div><div>How do you find peace where you are, in the usual and unusual places?</div><div>What does peace look like in the spaces you occupy or the ones that you aspire to occupy?</div><div>What does it mean to find peace where we are?</div><div>Where does peace belong? Where do you place peace?</div><div>How do you place peace, find it a home, or implement it?</div><div>What places and spaces most foster peace?</div><div>How does peace connect across place and space?</div><div>Where did you go in search of peace?</div><div>How did you carry peace with you across the borders between places?</div><div>What about the in-between places, the invisible spaces, the ones that fall through the cracks, and belong to no one?</div></div>

Mukoli: The Magazine for Peace

We are now accepting submissions for Mukoli's 6th Issue: "Peace in Place" which explores the relationship between peace and the spaces we inhabit: the familiar and unfamiliar, the visible and overlooked, the places we call home.

At Mukoli, peace is central to our exploration of the relationship that humans share with other humans; with social, political, and cultural structures; as well as with nature and the environment. We believe that wherever there is a conflict, or a rupture in these relationships, the arts in their multitude of forms – visual, written, spoken – have the power to heal. We are especially keen to publish marginalized, conflict-affected artists and writers. We aim to amplify multiple perspectives and aesthetics from globally diverse writing and artistic traditions. 

Mukoli is open! We invite submissions for our 5th issue, which will be contest-based across four categories: Fiction, Nonfiction, Poetry, and Multimedia Art. We seek work that engages with themes of peacebuilding, healing, and changemaking in our world. Each submission must include a 200–250 word Statement of Connection, describing how the work contributes to Mukoli’s approach to peacemaking.

Familiarize yourself with our guidelines, editorial policy, and genres and send us your best work. We look forward to reviewing your submissions!

Our current submission window for the contest is open up to 31 Oct ’25. Submissions received after 31 Oct. ‘25 will not be read.

Faber

"Anyone who succeeds in putting off the mantle of faith can do so only because another lies close to hand. No one can escape the prejudice of being human."
-Jung, CONCERNING THE ARCHETYPES AND THE ANIMA CONCEPT, Collective Unconscious
"Only the psyche can observe the psyche."
-Jung, THE PHENOMENOLOGY OF THE SPIRIT IN FAIRYTALES, Collective Unconscious
Jung called them nerve spirits and spoke densely enough about the open marriage of psychology and the spiritual that I no longer wonder why he found fairytales subjects worthy of his audience. He meticulously paddle-boarded theory into the brick and dust of our outside storage units. He does this lovingly for his audience, he cannot wait to tell us what he's found in his travels. Those travels are the universal, couch-quality kind, and I remember reading one chapter in Synchronicities about Jung's night spent with a ghost. He wrote with such politeness about the event.
You wonder about his interior life. In COLLECTIVE UNCONSCIOUS, Jung slowly and obsessively guides us to insights around the spirit and man while using his pattern of citation, anecdote, and foreign terminology to explain away the skin. There is little difference in the ghost and us, and the ghost, for lack of a witness besides the deceased Jung, may be a portion of ourselves tragically drowned in cerebellum. The activity of meeting must ruin a life, and I suspect the person who is capable of the ghost doesn't appreciate the gift.
How we celebrate our illness is something to look closely at in any country. Ghosts, or addictions -- or the way we see big pharma as both necessary mother and a capitalistic form of disbursement -- we have our local pharmacist and we have our medicine. I've noticed trendy pieces while online shopping that pull hot pink from the critical requirement of storing pills. Our contemporary needs sync better when we fetishize them. Oh, America, place the most popular shade of dopamine on the product, make them forget we're sick.
Illness has been Libre's tennis partner since 2024 and I think Haunted will shave flesh from the sweet concept of writing about one's own tragedy and launch spitballs at what's expected of narrating memory. It's difficult writing. We want stuff that makes the writer read before attacking their own subjective histories. I love the subjective, and think it may be the only way a writer and reader can truly have fries across the table together. This is a mental intimacy that is healthy. If we could provide this for strangers on the website, we may too make them cry. I will worry over whether this body of work would help a cause we--staff--care for deeply.
If you're able to tell the story about yourself, you're able to age, able to appreciate how there is enlightenment during injury; tentatively, this victimization may resurrect new relationships to realism. I prefer a visionary stance to pain: it rolls our eyes back, dries the tongue of any instinct besides reaching that next benchmark of relief. We view our bodies differently for their traumas. There is such strangeness in the afterwards. We navigate the furniture just a little differently, and there is something friendly about the way we treat our health. We relieve by reliving, or, at least, let's try to do that here.
Things my contacts will be grateful for:
11 pt. font - (I just like it better)
2x spaced pages (double your singles unless there's poetry quoted!)
Citations are welcome, references need links attached and we'll do the rest
500 - 3.000 word counts
Transparency's like a large list of green-lights. Here's what we're interested in: trauma, psychic experiments, LGBTQ experiences related to health conditions, RX, mean times, mania, seasonal depression, major depressive disorder, attention-deficit disorder, obsessive-compulsive influences, autism, childhood trauma (C-PTSD), PTSD, religious trauma, parkinson's, energy drinks, Jungian theory, adderall, stimulants by another company, bipolar disorders and related mood disorders, personality disorder tests, borderline, schitzophrenia, schizotypal, sexual abuse, intimate partner abuse, sociopathy, eating disorders, visions, hyper-religiosity, experiences with magical thinking, genetic inheritances, family health inheritances, suicide survivors and attempt survivors, minority stress, traumatic event: convict/ex-convict , smokers, agoraphobia, schizotypal, alien encounters, trichotillamania, trichophagia, insomnias, sleep-walking, dissociative, two-spirit traumas, hallucinations, drug abuse, dementia, exorcisms, medicine collections, brain traumas, blindess, homelessness, malpractice, arguments for/against therapies, analysis of psychiatric hospital experiences, mental health in relation to a loved one.
Include an author biography (500 words or les), links, and handles. We don't stress photos due to  cyberattacks, stalking, and hate-crimes, but if you would like to include one, we'll be careful to accept.
$50 per accepted submission.

Narrative Nonfiction (Health/Mental)

Breakdowns, break throughs, break ups. What’s the nature of "the break", how does it serve us best? Publishing essays about the health & trauma. There is a tender geometry to writing around trauma. The brain feels impossible to contemplate.

Breakdowns, break throughs, break ups. What’s the nature of "the break", how does it serve us best? Publishing essays about the health &amp; trauma. There is a tender geometry to writing around trauma. The brain feels impossible to contemplate. We are looking for health and trauma narratives. We pay our contributors generously for their labor and safety. Submissions are closed but we should have responses back to you by January. Libre invites you to write about health, sourcing examples of and from our bodies as temporary containers. Trauma can time-travel for us, and, one day, we'll find it hiding in a pocket in an old jacket. It wasn't healed, so here it is, monster in the closet. We believe in the old, Jungian theory of psyche, spirit, and skin. We want a second chance with this community. Better still, we want to spotlight writing that treats symptom like a poetry prompt. Body-heart wisdom, the nature of diagnosis. Illness as an active verb. Surely, we are able to recognize the impulse to reengineer our traumas through the helpful container of creative writing or visual art-making.

Vinue Hauteur is a digital publication and modern editorial house dedicated to the rigorous analysis of taste, culture, and high fashion. We examine the mechanics behind how aesthetics are born, how status is signaled, and why society chooses to wear what it wears. Where traditional media covers trends as disposable consumerism, Vinue Hauteur treats style as a sociological phenomenon. Through long-form cultural critique, archival analysis, and uncompromising visual curation, we dissect the intersections of art, design, and human desire.

Formatting: Please send us up to three poems in one document totaling five or fewer pages. Poems that contain visuals or art are welcome as long as you own the copyrights.  We may accept poems without accepting the art.          Please use fonts like Times New Roman/Calibri/Arial, 12pt., 1 inch margins.  INCLUDE page numbers at the top of your manuscript. DO NOT INCLUDE your name/identifiers in your manuscript.  If the unique format of your submission is critical to the piece, please feel free to keep your unique formatting.
Theme: Oasis–
Oasis is defined in Merriam Webster as the following:
a fertile or green area in an arid region (such as a desert)
something that provides refuge, relief, or pleasant contrast
For Thin Air Magazine’s upcoming issue, we seek to expand upon this notion.
In a turbulent, and at times seemingly desolate world, what is your oasis? Where do you seek shelter, or find comfort? What spaces fill, sustain, and save you? Is your oasis the physical body, spiritual self, home, community, or another source? How does one create sanctuary in the desert of the world?
Alternatively, we consider the conditions that are required to produce the oasis, and subsequently, what surrounds it.
For there to be an oasis, there must first exist a desert. An oasis can only exist when it is surrounded by, or contrasted by, a severe lack of something crucial to survival. What does it mean to be surrounded by a landscape of hostility, scarcity, or exclusion? In other words, what is your desert, and what drives you to find your oasis? Hunger? Thirst? Reprieve? Or is it something else entirely?
With this in mind, we wonder what else the oasis can represent.
What if the oasis can be a form of resistance? We think of the various forms of sanctuaries that are created in the midst of violence, fear, and the ever escalating political tensions: what oases have you noticed forming in the face of danger, desolation, and inaccessibility?
As creatives, we know that writing may even serve as an oasis and constant. In your creative, safe, and bold spaces, we encourage you to write all that you feel, see, and know of these oasis possibilities.
Aesthetic Statement: At Thin Air Magazine, we seek poetry that opens up new experiences we can empathize with, a thread of connection that pulls you in. We applaud artists unafraid to dive into painful memories and showcase how we grow as humans.  For issue 33, we’re interested in poetry that highlights the contrast between abundance and desolation; safety and danger; resistance and oppression. What can be an oasis, or alternatively, the mirage?  What is sanctuary in a world of scarcity?
Our upcoming theme, Systems, explores the impacts of our systems, and how those may reflect on us, our bodies, our relationships, our environment, our pasts, our futures. We believe poetry is a love language and a dagger that holds clarity, relatability, a playful spirit, and tackles feelings of what is hardest to put into words.
Submission Deadline: This year’s print issue deadline is 10/17/26. We have rolling submissions open right now. Reading of submissions begins in August every year and runs until the deadline.
Reminders:  In addition to these guidelines, please read our General Submission Guidelines.  We only consider unpublished work. Please do not submit material previously published in anthologies, chapbooks, online, or on personal websites (including FB, Twitter/X, Insta, Flickr, blogs, etc.).  Simultaneous submissions are encouraged, but let us know immediately if a submission has been accepted elsewhere.

2026 Omndiawn Fabulist Fiction/Novelette Contest

We publish work that opens readers to the many ways language may bring new insight & an elevated respect for, and appreciation of, differences.

Omnidawn Publishing, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, seeks to support and expand our community of writers and readers through the work we choose to publish, which questions, in both form and content, the prevailing limits of convention. Our intent is to explore internal and external boundaries and push, with compassionate insight, the limits of risk. Just as our name suggests—“omni” (in all ways and places) and “dawn” (the first appearance of light)—we publish creative works that open readers anew to the myriad ways that language may bring new light, insight, awareness, as well as a heightened respect for, and appreciation of, differences.
