Here we are, on the last day of submissions. Why haven’t you sent us anything yet? What’s stopping you?

Inside the issue, you can find links to Allison's work in @lastsyllablelit.bsky.social, @crowkeys.bsky.social, and @exposedbonemag.bsky.social (among others). You can also find out why she thinks you should read work by Mervyn Peake and Susanna Clarke!

You blinked and now there’s only 6 days to send us your fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, and cover art!

Again, always will be happy seeing pieces withdrawn to be pubbed at another press—publishing anywhere should be celebrated!

I can’t print your work in a book if you don’t send it to us!! Subs close the end of July so give it to meeee

Socials have taken a backseat since Scum is at a wedding, but reading crawls ever on!

Baffled at how many subs we’ve gotten already…even more baffled how many people haven’t subbed yet 👿👿👿

Got severe deja vu when I started reading submissions and realized I was reading Vol. III subs 😅

These magazines have 3-8% acceptance rates with 100+ tracked subs. Submit to them (and check out more) here: chillsubs.com/lists/sweet-... #writing

We have a newsletter! Join the Bone Pile on our site!

Thanks @duotrope.com !!! 🖤

Exposed Bone Magazine @exposedbonemag.bsky.social (Fiction Poetry Nonfiction; non-paying) opened to submissions https://duotrope.com... #amwriting

Submissions for Vol. IV are open!! Exposed Bone seeks uncanny fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction that destroys expectations and shoves at barriers. We encourage the sly, weird, and charming.

We should have the same relationship with AI as we do with plagiarism because both steal and don’t cite their sources

Pair the hot weather with some hot writers…read all three of our volumes on our website!

Submitting to us is free so what’s your excuse? Scared to be printed next to a bunch of badasses?

You may have noticed our window for subs is much smaller than calls in the past—we really want to get responses out quicker this time so we can work towards two issues a year!!

Like a long awaited sequel…

Are you signed up for our newsletter, From the Boneyard? No? Then you’re late to the party! Prep your submission—We open for submissions June 22-July 31!

Lorem ipsum is the language of writing in dreams

When looking for works to pub, shoot for something that make me go “ew…oooooh”

Do you have some work collecting dust that could find a good home? We open again soon…

A friendly tip: When crawling out of a grave, make sure to fill the dirt back in so you don’t fall in again

It really is amazing seeing orders still coming in while we try to find the script we lost with all our of social media posts in it

It’s official! My story “Homo Plasticus” is out at Exposed Bone Magazine! I fuse microplastics, grief, horror, and sci-fi. I am so glad to see this one enter the world! www.exposedbonemag.com/v3/homo-plas... @exposedbonemag.bsky.social #writingcommunity #reading
