Taking Submissions: The Lost Poetry Club Podcast: The Chronicle
February 29
Deadline: February 29th, 2024
Payment: 0.015 per word
Theme: A chronicle of something speculative fiction related (see below for more details!)
Note: The pay is a bit lower than what we usually would list, however we don’t always see newer podcasts pop up and thought it could be interesting for those who want to get in on the ground floor.
A brand new audible zine centering the bizarre, the horrifying, and the what-ifs. New Episodes bi-monthly with an exciting new theme every time. Imagine attending an open mic story-telling night in the cellar of that haunted house on the hill or the canteen of a starship that traverses time and dark dimensions. What stories would you hear? Would they inspire awe or disgust? Hope in the future or existential dread?

Formats: Mainly Short Stories, Poetry, Flash Fiction, Short Plays/Extracts, (but open to) Personal Stories, Dreams/Nightmares, Songs, Soundscapes, Fictional or Real Mini-Docs, Interviews, and whatever else you can dream up…

Think intricate field notes of a planetary explorer, official documents from the desk of a demon, heartfelt letters exchanged between lovers existing in parallel dimensions, and ancient spells encapsulated in a mystical grimoire. Each entry unfolding a unique tale, from the artificial to the mystical…
