Submit
Send us your ode to the moon cycles, your ingenious poems based on zodiac signs, your poetic hybrids or pictorial erasures, your magical and healing spells, your translations you're most proud of (and you should be!), your briefest but bravest (non-)fiction, your soothing mixtape lullabies, your can't-keep-our-eyes-off art pieces.
Guidelines
We accept
- Art: up to 5 pieces of photography/paintings/illustrations/mixed media/collages/digital media/whatever you deem visually stimulating. Art pieces that are part of a series have no number limit; we will simply choose the ones we love the best.
- Poetry: up to 5 poems. Be bold and experimental, or be classical and romantic, whatever goes and flows. We adore sonnets, limericks, senryus, prose poems, hybrids, erasures, found poems, spells, astrological poetry. Send them as graphics, with audio or video, or as is.
- Translated poetry: up to 5 original poems with your translations. We want the translations to reflect the pure essence of the originals.
- Flash fiction: up to 3 pieces of no more than 500 words. If you're feeling extra brave, send us some poignant and dreamy dribbles or drabbles. As they say, "brevity is the soul of wit."
- Mixtape: up to 13 songs. Send us a mixtape perfect for the rainy days, for meditative ambiance, for peak experiences, for healing catharsis, for nightdreaming, for passionate dancing.
- Collaboration: no restrictions. We accept collaborative visual art or written word. We treasure collaborations that are harmonious fusions of two brilliant minds.
- More: whatever else you think we—and our readers and community—may enjoy. There's no limit to your imagination, moonchild. Pitch to us!
- Cover letters: aren't necessary, but do shoot us a friendly hello with a little background about yourself. We can't wait to get to know you and your splendorous work!

Issue 4: Silent Hilling
|
Raise your hand if you've ever played the Silent Hill franchise and the games still haunt and heal you to this day. Raise your hand if you got excited about Silent Hills just to be heartbroken to learn that it's never ever coming out (at least we'll get Death Stranding, right?). Raise your hand if a haunting, mystical piece lives in you and you must exorcise it right here, right now. This issue is an ode to the Silent Hill universe, it's a lament that Silent Hills never came to fruition, it's a confession about your own silent healing. We'll leave the rest to your imagination. May there have been a hole here, may it be gone now.

Moonchaps
|
If you have a dreamy chapbook you'd like published online, Moonchaps is your go-to press for that. Since 2018, we started publishing online poetry/prose chapbooks that feel like an experience of sorts.
Buying books is a luxury that not everyone can afford. Our Apollo mission is to make everything we publish readily available for everyone to read while making it a sensorial experience as well. What do they say about that? Land on two moons with one rocketship? Yes, please and thank you. Our guidelines are fairly lenient. Submissions for chapbooks are open once a year for the whole month of January. Send us a manuscript (or as we like to call it, moonuscript) of poems or prose of no more than 40 pages. Everything else is up to you. Send us poems with art pieces. Send us prose with accompanying music. Send us hybrids with your audio/video recordings. Send them like they're a treasure map. Send them like they're a choose your own destiny game. Send them like they're palpable, palatable. Collaborations welcome. Translated poetry welcome. Exquisite corpses welcome. May the muse be your guideline. |
