Fiction - 20000 words max

Max words: 20000

Max pieces: 1

Sub Genres: Experimental, Speculative

Payment: $ 0.1 per word

The fiction we publish is mostly, but not exclusively, speculative. We appreciate surreal and experimental pieces as well as strong plotting, but prefer writing that doesn’t lean too far into pulp.

Nonfiction - 20000 words max

Max words: 20000

Max pieces: 1

Sub Genres: , ,

Payment: $ 0.1 per word

The essays we publish tend to be more creative than journalistic; we like at least a bit of narrative with our information.

Poetry

Min pieces: 3

Max pieces: 5

Payment: $ 50 per page

3-5 poems or 10 pages. Our interests in poetry tend towards the narrative, preferably with some thematic heft. We’re open to long poems, short poems, hybrid art/poetry, and all kinds of formalism.

Translation

Max words: 20000

Max pieces: 1

Payment: $

We’re currently open to considering writing in Spanish, French or Swedish for potential translation. For work already translated into English, we pay the same rate to both author and translator.

Art

Payment: $50-250

We’re interested in the surreal, subversive and political, not so much in the pulpy or abstract. We prefer a certain amount of directness: if your work requires explanatory text for us to perceive its connection to the theme, we’re less likely to be interested.

Additional info
Query for reprints. Multiple submissions are discouraged, except for poetry. We are always seeking work from Indigenous writers and artists, writers and artists of color, queer and trans writers and artists, and anyone who has suffered the consequences, intended or otherwise, of dominant society’s systemic disconnect with and mistreatment of the natural world. And we’re seeking new ways to reach all of the above.

Reckoning: an imperfect means of navigation by which one determines where they’re going using only where they’ve been. Reckoning: a settling of scores; justice.
