Sequestrum: Place
Themed submission: Place
A place can haunt us. It can inspire us. A place can surprise and delight and despair. In short, we’re expecting stories and poetry which couldn’t exist outside its “place.” Whether that place is rural or urban, natural or constructed, real or imagined makes little difference. Point to your passion on a map, and we’ll follow. As always, wow us. Thrill us. Never bore us. We’re eager to read your best.
Fiction, Creative Nonfiction, Poetry. Payment is $20. Deadline is 6/15/21
Sequestrum: Family
Themed submission: Family
Families are an endless source of material. We want buried secrets. We want generational stories. We want stories of betrayal and belonging, of fractures and survival, of losing hope and redemption. At this point in literature, a “normal” family might be the strangest story of all. We want that too. We want your most ambitious writing in its most imaginative form. Whether that’s realism or fantasy, slipstream or traditional, we want to read it. As always, wow us. Thrill us. Never bore us. We’re eager to read your best.
Fiction, Creative Nonfiction, Poetry. Payment is $20. Deadline is 6/15/21
