CALL-4-SUBMISSIONS: List of Lit Mags

Anemone Sidecar wants energetic, unusual, idiosyncratic unpublished work that may not otherwise find a home but which potentially adds to the grand collection of fine writing. No depictions of the various methods of enslavement or sexual punishment, please, and no graphic violence of other sorts, especially to birds or small animals. If you have work you are confident the sorely missed 3rd bed would have liked, send it here.

Ninth Letter is accepting submissions of fiction, poetry, essays, and interviews from September 1 to April 30 (postmark dates). Ninth Letter is a published semi-annually at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.

Tea Party Magazine’s core focus is the intersection of creativity and social justice. We support all people who struggle against oppression by presenting a forum in which we can tell the truth about our lives, reveal what has been hidden, and/or present a vision of liberation. Our artists and writers are speaking from their hearts, as they grapple deeply with issues of social justice in their own lives.
