They want creative non-fiction, fiction, poetry, and art for their quarterly journal. “Each year, Phylum will choose 4 different species from a phylum within the natural world. These four species will be the names and inspiration for each ISSUE we publish during that year.” The current phylum is Magnoliophyta and the current issue is on Red Twig Dogwood. We’re looking for pieces that reflect the red twig dogwood; a plant that grows through winter, showing that even in the harshest of times, it can still beat the odds. We want pieces that reflect perseverance and strength!” They pay $10 for up to 5,000 words of prose; they also accept poetry. The submission deadline is 30 June 2026. Details here.

Deadline: June 30th, 2026
