Submissions are Open for the Winter 2020 Issue: Edge
Read the Full Call / Submit Here
From the submissions call:
"In this moment between worlds, we invite in visions from the edge.
Edge-walkers, rollers, slitherers, dancers, send us your next-world notes from the in-between.
With your paintbrush or body or pen, sing to us from the edges of stories - the operating stories that are the DNA of current dominant system, and the seed-stories, the surviving-stories, the germinating stories of the instead-world, of the next world as if it were already here, hiding in our pockets, in the forgotten sidewalk soil..."

[A quick note: we are in beta (trying it out) mode, and are working to get captions and image descriptions integrated throughout the site. These are priorities for us, and just to be transparent, we are currently a one-spoonie-woman-run-biz, and it's taking a bit of time to get there.]
