Augur - Fiction
(Poetry)
Description
Note: remove identifying information from manuscript for anonymous judging.
Note: up to two submissions per submission cycle.
Note: If you’ve been published here once, please wait for the submission period after the issue you’ve been published in comes out.
Note: If you’ve been published here 2+ times, please wait until a year after the last issue you’ve been published in.
We’re looking for dream-touched realism, slipstream, fabulism, magical realism (note: educate yourself before you claim this term) and, for lack of a better descriptor, “literary” speculative fiction. Our perfect submission defies categorization—pieces that could be “too speculative” for CanLit magazines or “not speculative enough” for speculative magazines.
That said, we’re no strangers to rich realism, high fantasy, and science fiction, so if you think you match our tone, give us a try. We recommend checking out our preview issue, free online, or grabbing an issue, to see what we’ve published before.
