Call for Submissions on Theme of "Climate": The Suburban Review

Recent cover image or website screenshot for The Suburban Review 

What’s the forecast? The Suburban Review is heating up for issue #39: CLIMATE.

Tell us about the temperature of your world, the climate of the sociopolitical sphere, the degrees of the biome. Send us your glacial essays, hot and humid fiction, scorching arid poetry and art and comics that radiate long after reading.

What are you weathering right now? What’s pressurising your atmosphere? What are the conditions of the land you live on? We want balmy descriptions, shivering accounts and stormy tales. Are we going to ice down or sweat up with you? Are you febrile or frosty? Shower us with your thoughts!

Submissions are open until 5:00 p.m. (AEDT) 3rd of August 2025.

We allow simultaneous submissions. If it’s been accepted elsewhere just email us at:
