Thank you for considering publishing in the Fun Lovin’ Liminals, the edgy (as in tideline) new magazine for culture vultures. To be considered for publication in either the magazine or our website, you must follow these guidelines:
Our submission window for Issue 2 on the theme of Metamorphosis is from February 1st, 2026, until midnight on February 28th. However, we are always open to new ideas for articles and reviews, so feel free to email us at submissions@funlovinliminals.org at any time.
We accept fiction, creative non-fiction, poetry, essays, drama, music and visual arts that is examining where culture is going, what threshold we are looking to cross to progress as a species. Our philosophy is broad-based and inclusive, but we do want your best words, music or pictures that express or reflect the idea of this transition. There is no submission fee.
For submission in each publishing window, please send us your loveliest prose, poetry, artworks and links to your musical work.
We would be delighted to read your submissions for all types of writing. We love short (and sweet) poetry, as well as longer poetry of up to 40 lines. For prose –flash fiction and short stories – please ensure that submissions are between 500 and 700 words.
All written work should be on anonymous Word files.
All submissions should be through our website.
Is the theme of this issue clearly communicated through your visual work?
