Sequestrum Genre Fiction Issue
For too long, there’s been a barrier between “literary” and “genre” work. In recent years, that line is blurring; genre writing regularly offers complex characters and prose just as literary writing grows increasingly imaginative. That’s where we come in. In short, we want your most engaging writing written in stunning prose. Submit mystery, science fiction, romance, fantasy, comedy, thriller, and everything in-between. As always, wow us. Thrill us. Never bore us. We’re eager to read your best, up to 12K words. Deadline 8/15/20. Entry fee: $6.35. Payment: “a small cash honorarium.”
Sequestrum Sonnet & Haiku Issue
Most poetry today is free verse. And while we love the form and are always impressed by the freedom and originality free verse inspires, sometimes we want form as well as function. That’s why we’re currently reading sonnet and haiku poetry. We want poetry which not only functions within these traditional constraints, but surprises and delights as much as its free verse cousin. As always, wow us. Thrill us. Never bore us. We’re eager to read your best. Deadline 8/15/20. Maximum 4 poems per submission. Payment: “a small cash honorarium.”
