Open Call for Submissions: South of the South


We’re seeking fiction, non-fiction and poetry from Florida writers about the state of Florida. There is no limit to what you can write about – from Florida’s natural beauty to the seedier side of Mickey to wacky news headlines; as long as it’s about the Sunshine State, we want to read it.

Writers may submit fiction and non-fiction pieces up to 3,000 words or three poems up to 60 lines.

Selected authors will receive 2 copies of the anthology and a $15 honorarium

Deadline: August 15, 2020

Publication Date: October 2020

Send your submissions and a short author bio to wordierthanthou@gmail.com.
