call for submissionsFall 2021LOVE SERIES: Love for Others
Submissions Open 9/6 Close 10/25 @11:59pm (PST) or at 300 Submissions Thank you all who contributed to our summer edition, which featured the theme of Self-Love. Now, Penumbra Online is excited to continue our Love Series. We are excited to open the call for the second part of the Love Series: Love for Others. After the difficulties of the last year, we wanted our editions to bring light to our readers, and we could think of no better way to do that than through love. While the first part of our series focused on Self-Love, our Fall call will focus on love extending from ourselves. We’d like to take a moment to highlight the many ways love manifests for others. We encourage submitters to send in pieces that spotlight love in all its forms: all types of love and expressions of it are encouraged. From romantic love, to familial love, to platonic love, we encourage submitters to send in pieces that highlight love for others. These pieces do not have to only cover the parts of love that are easy; they may also display the struggle and heartache love for others can cause. Again, we especially welcome works from the LGBTQIA+ community as well as BIPOC. As always, check our guidelines before submitting any works to the journal. We look forward to your submissions! Check out our Spotify!
We are proud to announce that Penumbra Online has launched its very first Spotify account! We plan to upload playlists in line with our published editions, so our summer playlists are out now and our fall playlists will be coming out every two weeks. If you're looking for tunes from this summer, we've curated a few playlists that fit into our summer, self-love theme. Our first Fall playlist, Romantic Love, is also out now. Check them out by clicking the link!
