Just in time for the moody season of fall, DEVIL'S PARTY is our theme. Of course poet John Milton was said to be a member of the devil's party (meant like political party), so think about a devilish party of any kind, or the devil is in the details, devil's food cake, the devil take you, etc. Use your creativity and take our friend the devil out to play. NOPE, we are not looking for religious admonitions against the devil. Serious pieces are okay; religious rants or attempts at conversion are not, nor are we looking for devil worship (we respectfully leave that to the band Black Sabbath). We're not viewing the devil in the biblical sense here; we're thinking of it as a signifier, as, for example, devil's food cake is named that way to indicate the cake is very tempting. However if you write a short piece that includes the devil as a character in some way (horror, humor), that works, as long as it is not a religious lesson.
Submissions close JUNE 30, 2024 and the issue publishes September 1, 20241.
Please note:
Profanity should appear in the piece only when it adds to the impact or authenticity of the piece.
No hate: nothing that disparages people for things they cannot help like weight, gender, sexual orientation, pronouns, etc. This is not the place to complain that you don’t like something.
If your piece is off-topic it will not be accepted no matter how wonderful it is. Please be mindful of the themes. Same goes for length. Please be mindful of word counts/length for videos, etc. as they are indicated in the call.
We do not discuss why pieces are, or are not, accepted. If your piece is not chosen we simply state: this is not the piece we are looking for at this time.
