They want fiction, non-fiction, and poetry on Solarpunk. They have detailed guidelines for non-fiction, including, “we’re interested in reviews, interviews, reports, articles, essays, and general audience-aimed overviews of academic papers relevant to solarpunk. Tell us about some cool science or technology that’s going to help us rewild the world, remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, or clean up our agricultural act. Weave us the stories of real people who are up to amazing things or of real projects that are underway to help create the world we want to live in. Give us a critical review (of a work, a set of works, or a topic) that rises high enough for a view of the forest as well as the trees. Stake an interesting claim and then convince us that you’re onto something. The possibilities are broad. Interesting is important. Thought-provoking is encouraged. So is keeping it kind. And, again, relevance to solarpunk is key.” Apart from general Solarpunk work, they are also reading submissions on Solarpunk Horror during this submission window. They pay $100 for non-fiction of 1,000-2,000 words; payment for fiction is $0.08/word and for poetry, it is $50. The submission deadline is 14th April 2026. Details here.

We're not quite sure we're ready for this to be honest, but that's part of the appeal. We are looking for literary prose. We do not want to weather gratuitous violence or cruelty, but we do--or at least we think we do--want to feel fright, unease, a racing heart. If you are a writer of stories that do this, this call is for you. Think Shirley Jackson. Our usual guidelines apply. … Please indicate that your submission is for the Dark Fantasy and Psychological thriller submissions call.”
