A general comment from the editor [coming soon]

Fiction

Science fiction, anarchism, transhumanism, and dystopian.

No specific limitations

scienceFiction

speculative

poetry genre icon

Poetry

Max pieces: 5

No line limit. The poetry editor prefers free verse poems with narrative elements. Page and spoken word poems are equally welcome. Environmentalism is important praxis, but we're unlikely to accept poems focused exclusively on nature. Poems containing end rhymes or wildly varying line lengths are less likely to be accepted.

Art

We request digital-native artwork that is at least 300 DPI. We are unable to accept camera images of your physical work.
