Inner Worlds
Description
Note: remove identifying information from manuscript for anonymous judging.
Inner Worlds is a quarterly digital zine of speculative stories about our inner lives; our thoughts, our emotions, our perceptions, our dreams.
We aim to publish works which use elements from science fiction, fantasy, or horror to illuminate the different ways that we experience our selves and our world.
That might mean finding a metaphor to express a feeling, or a setting which reflects how your brain works sometimes, or turning a trope on its head to explore a different perspective.
We have a specific interest in sharing:
stories of neurodiversity
experiences of psychological struggle or distress, madness, and extreme states
the voices and perspectives of marginalised groups.
We'll walk with you in the dark places. But we want your humour, joy, and wonder too.
Science fiction, fantasy, or supernatural horror prose that has a strong emotional or psychological focus.
