Submissions for The Literary Fantasy Magazine: Summer 2025 are officially OPEN!
As always, there is no gimmick, no theme. We just want good fantasy. We want writing that puts us in the moccasins of a humble tanner, going about their business. We want to know about the hidden wounds on the heart of the chosen one. Go deep into the lives of those living in your fantastic world, and show us all the mess broiling beneath the surface.
For guidance, check our Submission Guidelines and our Recommended Reading sections.
