SUBMISSIONS CLOSED

We are currently reading submissions for issue Number two : FUTURES. Thank you to all those who submitted.

We are dissatisfied with the future being offered to us. In response, the theme for our second issue is: Futures. For this special issue, CrayfishMag invites poets, storytellers, and visual artists to imagine something better. We encourage speculation, imagination, the crafting of utopian and dystopian visions. We are asking for alternatives. We hope you will move beyond the obvious to give us something unique and powerful. 


The team is hard at work on the current issue. We promise to share it with you soon. We will reopen for submissions laster this fall.

Submission Guidelines:

Poetry: Send us up to five poems in one document. We’re interested in prose poetry, formal poetry, hybrid work, and everything in between.

Prose: Submit one piece of prose per submission, fiction or creative nonfiction, no longer than 5,000 words.

Visual Art: We’re interested in all kinds of art and design, including photography, painting, collage, comics, and more. Please send us up to five images. If you have work that you see as a series, send us up to ten. Use the highest resolution you can so that we can evaluate your work fairly.

Other: Some of the best submissions don’t fit into categories. If that’s where you work, this box is for you. If it can live on the web, we’d love to give it our attention.

Simultaneous submissions are welcome, but please let us know if it’s accepted elsewhere. We cannot publish previously published work. Also, this is a space for humans. While we know AI can be helpful, we are not interested in AI-generated pieces.


Questions about our submission process and guidelines should be sent to editors@crayfishmag.com.
