Them is a Condé Nast LGBTQI2S website starting a new monthly fiction column. They are looking for reader-submitted works.
You can submit your stories and poems to their new monthly fiction and poetry column. For April, they’re looking for submissions on the theme of time.
This April, leading up to this year’s Met Gala, About Time: Fashion and Duration, they’ll be publishing submissions themed around time. They’re looking for stories and poems both about time as a literal concept and as it relates to one’s life — a time you fell in love, how coming out changed the timeline of your adolescence, a queer time travel saga, even a period piece that transports us to a different historical era. While they encourage any interpretation of this theme, they are looking to select:
- 5 poems
- 4 pieces of flash fiction (under 1,000 words)
- 1 short story
