Taking Submissions: Rainy weather days: Volumes 3 and 4

January 6

Deadline: January 6th, 2025
Payment: Prose—$25/published piece, Poetry—$10/published piece, Cover art—$50
Theme: Defiance

We are shifting focus to works OF DEFIANCE—we are looking for works of and by voices of protest that challenge our current status quo. We are looking for resistance literature. This can be fictional prose of any genre, poetry, or nonfiction essays. We are also looking for cover art submissions which should fit a 6″x9″ cover (the left edge may need cropped up to 0.25” due to some recent issues we’ve had with “shifting” with the printing company!)

To be clear, the ideology of the work should oppose right-wing ideology, Nazism, Authoritarianism, Christian nationalism, white supremacy, etc. or uplift voices of dissent or marginalized voices. Let’s make future issues the target for bans by Moms for Liberty.

Our current pay rates are as follows:

  • Prose—$25/published piece
  • Poetry—$10/published piece
  • Cover art—$50

We will start accepting submissions for Volumes 3 and 4 on December 1, 2024.

Submit

Our magazine was founded in 2024 as a “cozy” literature magazine, however, we are now in the process of transitioning to publishing resistance literature.

We value artistic expression! We are looking for works that are daring, even challenging. Works should protest right-wing ideology, particularly of the far/alt-right variety.

Our digital releases will come in many convenient formats as well, including e-reader formats.

We plan to release digital and print versions of our magazine on a quarterly basis. We may release some free online or online-only stories on our website from time to time as well (authors will be asked beforehand for permission for an online release.)

We are located in the Jackson, Mississippi greater area/Huntsville, Alabama greater area.

We will open for submissions for volume 3 and 4 December 1, 2024!

We pay $25 for accepted prose, $10 for accepted poetry, and $50 for accepted cover art. Authors/artists also receive digital editions of the magazine.
