We are a themed literary journal, and all THREE elements (the specific words, Mercy, Town square, Frost —art & photography excluded) given for the submission period must be included in your story or poem for your work to be considered for publication. NO EXCEPTIONS WHATSOEVER.  Your story or poem doesn’t have to be about the three elements or even revolve around them; simply use your imagination to create whatever you want. You can use any form of the words/elements for the given submission period. For example, if the elements are: Flash, Whimsy, and Seizure; we would accept the usage of Flashed, Whimsical, and Seizures.

We want to showcase writing and artwork that has been created with abandon. That term is free to be interpreted liberally, but ideally, it is the kind of work that takes risks, created in a space wherein the artist doesn’t care what anyone else thinks or what everyone else is doing.

As long as the writing is powerful and abandons the preconceived notions of what is expected, we want to read it.

Poetry/Lyric: up to 3 pieces. Fiction, essays, creative nonfiction, and other prose. Audio/Visual artwork: up to 5 photos, paintings, prints, or other forms of art.

We are looking for stories that leave lasting impressions, and in 2021 we are considering fiction, creative nonfiction, personal essays, and poetry that is directly or loosely linked to the theme of SECOND THOUGHTS.

Open themed submissAdd Content/Layoutsions

We are devoted to writing and artwork that are inspired by the natural world. Our objective is to promote appreciation for nature’s beauty, as well as to promote creativity. We welcome emerging writers/artists and established writers/artists from all over the globe.

Zetetic is not a genre-specific anthology; we are looking for great stories without boundaries. Therefore, most genres are considered, but probably not “Young Adult Paranormal Romance,” because we’ve seen enough of that lately in other markets.

Submit 1 story, essay, article, review, or excerpt (maximum 4,000 words), up to 5 poems (maximum 4,000 words), up to 5 GIF poems, or up to 5 images. 

Looking for fiction and visual art that fits our themed calls for submission.
