We are now accepting submissions for our upcoming issue centred around the theme of superstitions. Whether you’re superstitious or not, all cultures come with their own unique set of superstitions.
Got a superstition that shaped your childhood? Or any old wives’ tale passed down through generations? Wrapped in mystical mystery, superstition can shape our lives in subtle ways we may not even realize. Maybe you’ve got a real-life experience about a superstitious belief that sounds too strange to be true. Or you have a fantasy story-in-the-making about a black cat that’s crossed your path. Fact or fiction, funny or sombre, we’re looking for stories revolving around the theme of superstition. This is your chance to unleash your creativity and merge reality with the mystical!
We welcome:
- Poetry
- Fiction (flash or short stories)
- Creative nonfiction
- Visual art & photography
- Hybrid and experimental forms
