Lucky Jefferson publishes social change. For their upcoming print issue, they want submissions on the Bond theme. “In collaboration with currently incarcerated artist Juan Hernandez, Bond invites currently and previously incarcerated individuals, as well as those connected to them, to share creative works that explore the unconventional relationships shaped by incarceration. This could include connections to objects, communal ties, or bonds formed within the carceral system.
Participants—including friends, family, and pen pals—are encouraged to submit poetry, essays, comics, graphic art, and more to share stories that reveal the human need for connection.” Send prose up to 1,000 words. They pay $30. They are open until filled, for this theme. Details here and here (see the relevant category on Submittable).
