Submissions wanted (nonfiction, personal memoir, etc.) (worldwide) | £100 per piece

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: LUNATE

Deadline: 20 October 2024

We will be opening from October 7th - 20th for submissions of fiction and non-fiction

For this edition, we are looking for written pieces of 2,000 - 10,000 words (please do treat this as a strict limit — submissions outside of this range will not be considered.) We welcome both fiction and essays (and work that occupies the intriguing hinterland between fiction and non-fiction.)

One piece only per writer.

There is no theme for this volume.

The best indicator of our preferred aesthetic is our published work, and the type of writing we cover in our reviews section — we encourage you to look at both to ensure your work is a good fit.

Fiction: we don’t publish genre/commercial fiction (eg action, fantasy, YA, romance), or work that features sexual violence.

Essays: we’re looking for work that lands largely within the realm of personal memoir and offers a compelling angle on the chosen subject.

Lunate’s aim, online, and now in print, is to provide a fitting showcase for exceptional writing. With our readership growing, we encourage you to send us your best work.

Email your work as an editable Word doc attachment to submissions@lunate.co.uk. Please enclose a brief, third-person bio, and help us out by avoiding radical fonts and layouts.

Contributors receive a copy of the journal and a fee of £100 (paid on publication.)

Lunate vol. 6 will publish in February 2025.

This call is open to all writers.
