Seize the Press
Description
Seize The Press Magazine is an anticapitalist publication looking to publish dark speculative fiction. Bleak sci-fi, dark fantasy, horror and all kinds of weird, messy, genre-defying stories that defy labels. We're looking for stories that aren't didactic or moralistic. We want stories where everything isn't wrapped up neatly at the end. We want to promote a diverse range of voices from authors who write messy characters, so give us your problematic queers and your angry women-we want your difficult and morally questionable characters in unpleasant situations who don?t slide neatly into a narrow definition of positive representation and don't fit the model minority mould.
