JOIN THE DREAM!

“Some choose to comment, others choose to create. Be the latter. Both will be forgotten but at least one added something to the song while it was playing.” – Rick Remender, Deadly Class

Everyone has something to say. We live in a time where our words can get lost in translation, soundbites, TikTok edits, Instagram infographics and the desire to be seen versus the fear of being perceived. This is an offer to join a space where your words will be preserved. We would love to have you as a guest contributor, but be mindful of the guidelines and the theme. Create something you care about for the opportunity to be a part of the dream while building your portfolio.

THEME:

Dreams, Radical Optimism and the Collective Imagination

Submission Guidelines:

Your work will be considered if:
  • it is relevant to the theme of the month,
  • it is a short story between 1000 and 5000 words,
  • it is a poem of more than 10 lines,
  • it is an essay between 500 and 3000 words,
  • it is a visual art gallery with captions and descriptions of the images,
  • and it meets the standards of our editors.
We prioritise speculative and imaginative Southern African stories that are hopeful about the future of art, society, the greater world and our place in it, but we are open to works of any genre. There is no pressure to be a perfect writer, this is a publication that values experimentation and the will to learn and hone your skills.
Fill in the form below and you will receive an email with instructions on how to send your work to us. If your submission is not successful, our editors will give you constructive feedback and an invitation to submit to later themes and issues.
Ka tebogo,
