Summer theme announcement! RURAL SUMMER GOTHIC Subs open 4/1 - 4/30 for July 2026 publication. Instead of doing a word bank, I thought it might be more fun and mysterious to make a collage and let you interpret it! We are excited to see what you submit.

ust a reminder that the spring issue deadline is coming up next week. We are taking longer in our decision process, and our final decisions won't be made until mid-February. In the meantime, we are enjoying reading and looking at everything you've sent so far!

My first published short story is out today in Belladonna's Garden! (@bdglit.bsky.social) "A Song for Boughs Afire" is a wintery tale of a grieving widow, a sentient aspen clone colony, and a timberman who has trouble respecting boundaries. www.belladonnasgardenlit.com/winter-2026-...

Subs are now open for our spring issue’s theme: Posion Blooms. Jan 1-31, 2026 www.instagram.com/p/DS2uV9_kcu...

"If Trees Could Scream" has found a home with the lovely @bdglit.bsky.social! This one is a little eerie and a little enchanted (and yes...there are trees!) 🌳🍂💚🪡

The winter issue of Belladonna's Garden Literary Magazine was published today. My short story, "Siren's Song," is included in it. @bdglit.bsky.social #SciFi-Fantasy-SpecFic 🪐📚 #SFF #SFFWriting/Writers 🔱 #writingcommunity #cozyfantasy www.belladonnasgardenlit.com/winter-2026-...
