Editorial Focus
A literary magazine dedicated to all things strange and beautiful.
Think: secrets in exchange for stories, children born as bears, houses coming to life at night, singing love songs to the earth, praying to Birds instead of Gods.
Currently accepting submissions of prose, poetry, visual art, creative nonfiction, and essay for Issues 4: “Gothic Imaginations”; and 5: “Young Creatives”, open exclusively to creators aged 10-16 at time of submission.
Tips From the Editor
Example “Gothic Imaginations”:
- Climate as a vehicle: sinister intents
- Tragic threads: familiar demons
- Empty mirrors: cursed immortalities
- The drums of an ancient forest: forgotten gods
“Young Creatives”:
We want your submissions to guide us in exploration of the vastness of children's literature and media, as “everyone knows what children's literature is until asked to define it ...” (Roger Sale).
