Call for Submissions: borrowed solace

Deadline: June 30, 2023

borrowed solace is open to submissions for several months at a time, twice a year. We post on our website when we are open for submissions, so please check back for updates. Please do not submit any fiction, nonfiction, poetry, or art when we are closed for submissions. . Any submissions received when we are closed will not be considered for publication and you will need to resubmit when submissions reopen.

We publish one themed issue and one unthemed issue per year. Our themes are generally vague and can be interpreted many ways, but still, submissions received leading up to the publication of a themed issue must in some way fit with the theme. If you have questions about a theme or specific issue, please contact us by emailing us at the email listed on the “Contact” page above.

We prefer stories that do not include excessive violence or erotica. If you wish to include such things in your story, it needs to have a purpose – prove to us that it is significant to the story or characters and it won’t be a problem. We do not accept any work with racial slurs or political commentary.

We accept stories and/or poems if you have submitted them in the past to us as long as they are different and refreshed from the last time. We may ask you to resubmit your work to an upcoming journal for future possibilities.

We do not accept reprints or tolerate plagiarism. Simultaneous submissions are welcome, but please withdraw your submission if it is accepted elsewhere. To do this, log into our submissions manager and click on “Withdraw a Submission.” If you submitted multiple pieces and wish to withdraw only a certain piece, contact us by emailing us at the email listed on the “Contact” page above.

At this time, we are unable to monetarily pay our contributors. If your submission is chosen for publication in borrowed solace, you will be paid in digital contributor copies of the journal, and our undying gratitude for allowing us to be a platform for sharing your work!
