The theme for this issue is TRANCE. Consider the trance and lay your own one on us. The word and the state it references is mysterious, with many possible meanings and applications, show us how you take it. Think of trance not just in content, but form—how can your language or characters weave one? How can your visuals spellbind us?

Writing of all genres, styles, and lengths (up to 5,000 words) is welcome. Poets, please send no more than five poems, with each poem starting on a new page. Prose writers, please adhere to the 5,000-word limit. This total can include multiple interconnected or serial pieces. 

Please submit .docx or .pdf files only, use a readable font, and keep your cover letter brief—please just let us know where you live and include a short author's bio. When it comes to bios, we'd rather hear who you are than read a long list of prior publications, maybe tell us what your favorite condiment is (we're partial to Vegemite.) 

Submissions window for writing will be open December 1st-14th. We really look forward to reading your words! Entrance us!
