SUBMISSIONS ARE NOW OPEN TO ISSUE VIII: Guidance Part 2 

Prompt:

What guides you in your life? Religion? Your subconscious? Your impulse? Your moral values? 

What guides the world? God's hand's? Physics? Technocrats? 

**

We often seek guidance in others, in our mentors and in the people we revere. Do we ever stop and question their word? Do we ever stop and think-- what is my truth when we repeat their mantras over and over again? 
 

What guides what you see? Your eyes (yet, do your eyes deceive you)? A puppeteer? Or is it a fantasy you have accepted as the truth? 

Yes, the question boils down to: What is your truth and how does it guide you, like an invisible mantra? How does truth become lie? 

Submission Guidelines

All styles are welcome-- not limited to prose, poetry, and photography* 

However, the genre should always link back to dystopian literature. If it does not, we may have to decline your submission. 

Upon submission, you are granting us to publish your work in either an issue or a volume. 

You can either submit through the google form, or attach it in an email @

Photograph Submissions

Photograph submissions are open all year round and do not follow same deadlines as written submissions. 

Photos can be submitted using the same form and email address. 

Unlike written pieces, photographs can be less connected to the theme of "dystopia", however they should still offer an insightful and unique perspective
