Open for Web Edition Submission: Reaction
We find ourselves in a moment of American Reaction. But what sparks that reaction, and what is born out of it? Send us your stories, poems and essays that react without or before forethought, or deal with its spurious repercussions. Render reactivity in digital and material and spiritual spaces in all its spectacle and earnestness. Show us poignant moments of unexpected emotion, or sudden bodily reflexes or the mind’s recoil. We want characters caught in unforeseeable moments and narrators that drop their guard, or poems that embody one action’s equal and opposed reaction. We welcome writing that spans the spectrum of reactions – chemical, physical, biological, psychological and political – and pieces that capture reaction in all its possibility and detriment.
See full guidelines and submit today. Categories will remain open until we hit our cap of 350 submissions per genre.
Please note: Fiction and Poetry categories have both reached their cap. CNF remains open for submissons!
