The Pink Hydra - Fiction
(Poetry) (Nonfiction)
Description
Note: although you can send multiple pieces in a single submission packet, do not send more than one packet per window.
Submissions for our magazine are now OPEN! and we’re practically bouncing off the walls in excitement!! We’re really, really happy to welcome all you folks from so many different corners of the world. We’re primarily looking for submissions at this stage of our journey, so if you think you’ve got something that fits, don’t hesitate to send it.
The Pink Hydra publishes tales of unreality. That includes—but is not limited to—all stripes of speculative fiction. It also includes tales where no magic happens. It’s more of a vibe than a genre. Stories need to have a fantasy-feel, to transport the reader to some different world. This can include literary, romance, or even nonfiction memoir.
