Minerva Rising Press will be accepting poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction submissions for focused on the theme of Subversion.
Writers hold a superpower when it comes to undermining authority and breaking down systems of oppression. Our poetry, essays and stories carry the ideas and truths that influence necessary change in the world. What are the ways subversive behavior have shifted our direction? How have we rebelled against systemic racism, the patriarchy, discrimination in all forms? How do you define subversion, and how has it affected change in your life? How can it change and heal the planet? With this theme, we seek writers who can share stories, poems and essays showcasing the ways subversion has been and continues to be a necessary antidote to oppression within our own lives, our communities and the world.
Submissions will be open NOW through May 15. We look forward to reading your work.
