Deadline: 3 August 2025
What’s the forecast? The Suburban Review is heating up for issue #39: CLIMATE.
Tell us about the temperature of your world, the climate of the sociopolitical sphere, the degrees of the biome. Send us your glacial essays, hot and humid fiction, scorching arid poetry and art and comics that radiate long after reading.
What are you weathering right now? What’s pressurising your atmosphere? What are the conditions of the land you live on? We want balmy descriptions, shivering accounts and stormy tales. Are we going to ice down or sweat up with you? Are you febrile or frosty? Shower us with your thoughts!
Submissions are open until 5:00 p.m. (AEDT) 3rd of August 2025.
We allow simultaneous submissions. If it’s been accepted elsewhere just email us at submissions@thesuburbanreview.com with ‘Withdrawing submission’ as your subject line.
We only allow one submission per person (that means you need to choose if you want to submit fiction, non-fiction, poetry, comics, or art). To submit poetry (that’s a maximum of 3 poems), make sure all the poems are in a single document. Please review our submission guidelines at thesuburbanreview.com/submit!
