Editorial Focus

After Happy Hour has two open calls from 11/1/24-1/31/25: 

  • 4th Annual Contest: “Food” is the theme, entry is $10
  • Online issue: reprints from defunct markets only (free submissions)

See the website for more details on both calls and general submission guidelines.

Tips From the Editor

The editorial crew is a weird bunch: a conlang-writing cryptid geek, an essayist / cemetery worker, a poet who carves words into food, and the author of a cannibal comedy. We would love to publish more genre, genre-bending, and experimental work but get less than we’d like. Send us some, and you’ll make our little oddball hearts happy.
