“Exhaustion: Limited Reserves”
Chapbook – Poetry and Flash Fiction
Deadline: May 31, 2022
A common human experience is exhaustion in its many guises. Feeling used up or worn out. Reaching the limits of our personal and collective resources. Tapping out. Laying waste to the planet. Burning fuel until there’s nothing left but fumes. Covering a topic in its entirety, until everything that could be said has been said.
This chapbook will engage these and other notions of exhaustion.

Theme: Body Horror
Note: This anthology is only open to writers who identify as Transgender and Non-Binary.
Bound in Flesh: An Anthology of Trans Body Horror edited by Lor Gislason.
FROM THE EDITOR:
Hello, my name is Lor Gislason (they/them) and I will be the editor of BOUND IN FLESH. Body horror has been a part of my life for many years, in one way or another; From cartoons that stretch and twist characters, to personal favourites like Hellraiser and Possessor that push the human form beyond what is imaginable. While being uncomfortable with your body is not the case for all trans and NB folks, it is very common–hence why I think the genre draws so many of us to it. The cathartic nature of horror is the connective tissue that brings us together. I want to give other trans and NB authors the chance to showcase their work in a genre that so often is cis-centric, to tell their own stories and reaffirm that trans writers belong in horror.
This anthology is only open to writers who identify as Transgender and Non-Binary.
Deadline: April 30th, 2022
Payment: $15 CAD upon publication ($10 for reprints)
Theme: This chapbook will speak to various experiences of home, with an emphasis on those that are complex or challenging.
Note: Reprints Welcome
Note: I suspect horror would be a hard sell on this unless it really nailed the topic, read on!

We’re certain that you can, far too easily, find inspiration from your real or virtual workplace. Magic, mayhem, revenge — and, yes, perhaps even redemption — can all be found there.
