humanimaginings: Submission Call (no fee)
Deadline: September 1, 2026
What is a creature?
A folkloric fairy. A bird at the window. A monster beneath the bed. An alien intelligence. The wild entity within.
humanimaginings invites submissions for CREATURE, our current themed challenge. We welcome speculative fiction, poetry, and essays that explore creatures real, mythical, microscopic, uncanny, and entirely your own invention.
We publish human-written work only and invite you to share a window into your creative process alongside your piece!
Most importantly, every submission receives personalised feedback and a response. Your work will be read thoughtfully and engaged with as writing, not filtered through an automated system.
If you're drawn to the strange, the beautiful, or the feral, we'd love to read your work.
