They want poetry, fiction, essays, translations, and art. They have two upcoming themes: Old Friends, and Heredity. Please remember, they accept submissions until a cap is reached, or the deadline, whichever comes first. All submissions must have a clear relationship to the theme. Apart from these two themes, they are also accepting submissions for Dear Horace Greely and Heartbeats: Visual Verse sections.
— Old Friends: “There’s a reason why the idea of childhood friends is so popular in books, television, and movies: the idea of someone who’s known us for most of our lives and still likes us enough to want to be around us is tremendously attractive. Old friends don’t even have to be human – our pets, favorite books, geographical locations, cars, even food can be considered an old friend. But “old friend” isn’t necessarily a good thing. We’ve all had friends who aren’t exactly great influences in our lives, and the longer we know them, the more influence they can exert.
We’re looking for speculative takes on old friends – the weird, the outrageous, the mysterious. We’re NOT looking for buddy stories, sweetly nostalgic reunions with childhood school friends, or anything else that might appear on the Hallmark channel.” The deadline is 31 January 2024, or until filled.
— Heredity: “Maybe you have your mother’s nose, or your father’s eyes, or your grandmother’s hair, or your uncle’s earlobes. There are so many things that run in families – not just physical characteristics, but so many of our habits, tastes, and ways of thinking. The “nature vs. nurture” debate has been raging forever, although science is finding that a surprising amount of what we think of as learned behavior might actually be biological. But what else might we inherit from our families? Magic powers? A tail? ESP?
We’re looking for speculative takes on heredity – the unexpected, the impossible, the very furthest out there. We’re NOT looking for stories about inheritance – things given to us by families or friends. We’re not looking for werewolves or vampires (or any other well-known fictional monsters). We’re looking for something new – something we’ve never seen before.” The deadline is 30 April 2024, or until filled.
Deadlines: See above
Length: Up to 3,000 words for prose; up to 3 pages for poetry
Pay: $0.01/word for prose, $10 for poetry
Details here and here.
The Last Girls Club: Poison
This is a feminist horror magazine and they’re reading fiction and poetry on the ‘Poison’ theme. “Poison has an interesting history as a liberator, a political tool, and the perfect murder.

Deadline: 1 February 2024, or until filled
Length: Up to 2,500 words for fiction; up to 3 poems
Pay: $0.015/word, up to $37.50 for fiction; $10 for poetry
Details here and here.
Celticfrog Publishing: Bigfoot Country
Their guidelines say, “We are looking for stories that feature Bigfoot, (or the other names for the being, I will use Bigfoot to talk about them all) they can be about a sighting, or be from the creature’s point of view, and anything in between. The only proviso is that Bigfoot must be the central point of the story. Whether you stay with common Bigfoot lore or go in a completely different direction is up to you.
We want stories with strong plot and character, pull us into the story, don’t just tell us about it. Make the story your own, we don’t want retellings of well-worn paths, but tales that enthrall and entertain. We’re open to anything that tells a story, so a play, an epic poem, a graphic story, all are welcome.” Also, please note, “Celticfrog Publishing reserves the right to not publish if there is insufficient content to make a quality anthology.”
Deadline: 1 February 2024

Pay: A minimum of CAD100 (more if Kickstarter funds)

Eye to the Telescope: Dragons
This is a speculative poetry magazine. For the Dragons theme,
they say, “Even though no one can agree on what exactly dragons are, nearly every culture has mythologized them in some way. From their size to their design to their abilities to their origins, tales of dragons are as diverse as humanity itself, with some of the earliest poetry in the English language revolving around them, reinventing what dragons were perceived as for the time. In this dragon-themed call, we want your take on dragons. Feel free to draw from traditions outside the predominant Western narrative to develop an original take on these fearsome creatures or introduce under-appreciated interpretations from your own cultures. Not only can you twist the idea of what dragons are as you see fit, but you can place them in genres outside of traditional fantasy, where they have often been underutilized or absent.
Poetry that rhymes is more than welcome, and I’m open to a genre approach to submissions as much as I am to a literary one!” They also accept translations.Deadline: 15 March 2023
Length: Up to 3 poems
Pay: $0.04/word (up to $25)
