Call for Short Stories and Personal Essays

Deadline: May 9, 2022

Inaugural issue of riddlebird: celebrating the joy of reading and writing across different reading preferences. The marketplace can divide our reading tastes, but riddlebird strives to make a space for more diversity (of interest, of authorship, of meaning).

Our interests: Literary Fiction—style favorites include authors like George Saunders, Souvankham Thammavongsa, E.C. Osondu.

Personal Essays—memoirist’s essay that has achieved some distance with a newfound insight. Think of Vivian Gornick’s idea of “the situation and the story.”

Literary Genre Fiction—well-written genre-writing, especially mysteries, sci-fi, and westerns. Think of Charles Portis.

Authors paid for contributions. Full guidelines here.
