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.

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
