Call for Submissions: Open until September 30, 2024
Seeking submissions for our Winter 2024 Issue
Dandelion Revolution Press is seeking submissions for our Winter journal issue related to the theme: COCOON
Cocoon can mean many things. Rest. Home. A period of waiting. A place to hide. Solitude. Isolation. A dance between retreating from the world and releasing oneself back into it. Winter months are a season of hibernation, the natural retreat into a state of dormancy. But is it? From the outside, the caterpillar appears inactive in its own cocoon. Yet, this phase is paramount for its growth.
WHAT WE’RE CREATING: A seasonal online literary journal that publishes short fiction, creative nonfiction, and personal essays. Content and contributor information will be shared on our website and social media.
WHAT WE’D LIKE YOU TO CONTRIBUTE: 1,000-5,000 word prose filled with dynamic, multilayered – even edgy – characters. We’re drawn to compelling women characters within a framework of excellent writing and storytelling. Send your short fiction, creative nonfiction, or personal essays related to the theme ‘Cocoon.’ All genres welcome. The intended audience will be 17+.
WHO WE’D LOVE TO HAVE SUBMIT: Writers of all identities, and we encourage voices from diverse backgrounds and experiences. We have a global audience and would love to see that reflected in the pieces we publish.
