Call for Submissions: Broken Antler Magazine

Broken Antler publishes horror and weird fiction, as well as sci-fi and dark fantasy. The editors are partial to a wide range of subgenres—body, cosmic, folk, gore, etc. (and our EIC likes any writing that screws with her sleep schedule). If your work fits into the horror genre, or is some version of fucked-up, send it our way.

For poetry, creative nonfiction, and hybrid submissions, we’re looking for work that is haunting and monstrous, strange and bizarre. Extra points if your work is experimental or doing something unusual with form.

Do NOT send us work featuring gratuitous sexual assault, violence against women and/or marginalized groups, or hate speech. Broken Antler is 100% run by women, several members of our editorial staff identify as LGBTQIA+, and we are committed to uplifting these and other previously silenced voices.

NOTE: Submitted work should be previously unpublished, and we do NOT accept AI-generated content. Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but please let us know if your work is accepted elsewhere. Upon acceptance, Broken Antler requests first serial rights for physical and electronic publication. Following publication, all rights revert back to the author; though we do ask that you credit Broken Antler as the place your work first appeared.

Email all submissions to:

brokenantlermagazine[AT]gmail[DOT]com (Change [AT] to @ and [DOT] to . )

In the subject line of your email — please indicate which category you’re submitting to and whether you’re submitting to BAM Quarterly or The Marrow (all submissions are considered for our annual print issue). EXAMPLE: “Fiction submission for BAM Quarterly”

In the body of your email — please include the title of your piece(s), word count (prose only), a brief bio (100 words max.), content warnings if necessary, and any other information you’d like to share with us about you + your work.

Broken Antler is committed to paying writers and artists for their work. Individuals with work selected for Broken Antler’s print issue receive $20 + a contributor copy of the magazine. We pay a token of $10 (per piece) for work published in our online venues. Payment is provided upon acceptance.

Deadline: Nov. 21, 2023
