A very special call: Over our 20 (!) years we’ve published stories from all the continents of the world, except Antarctica. We want to remedy that.

We’re looking for stories between 2000–6000 words from writers who are in, have recently been to, or have plans to visit Antarctica in the near future.

For our final month of reading, we're needing shorter prose works. So if you submit 1-2,500 words you'll have a higher chance of making Issue 14.

For poets, if you simply submit a poem that's science fiction in nature, you're already in the top 25%

If you have a speculative fiction story of 5000 words on under we want to read it, but to maximise your chances pay close attention to the guidelines.

Solarpunk Magazine submission portals will be open from April 1-14. Send us your hopeful climate fiction, poetry, essays, and art for consideration! Guidelines and sub link can be found at solarpunkmagazine.com/submissions
