Room Magazine invites you to submit your writing to our Issue 48.3: Rest/Unrest, edited by Rachel Thompson, alongside Assistant Editor Holly Lam, and Shadow Editors Katie Stobbart and Hamdah Shabbir.
Pause. Breathe. Reflect. Resist. Then Submit to Room 48.3:
In Rest/Unrest, we’ll unravel the forces and structures denying us rest and celebrate the act of reclaiming it. Send us your stories, poems, and hybrid pieces on moments of pause, sacred naps, and rebelling against our hyper-productive world. Editors Rachel Thompson, Holly Lam, Hamdah Shabbir, and Katie Stobbart welcome writing on burnout, rest as resistance, hibernation, fallow periods, reclaiming time, and your unique interpretations of rest/unrest. Submit your best work in any genre that lies down within literary tradition and rises against it.
Submissions open November 15th and will be accepted on a rolling basis until we reach our submissions limit.
Guidelines:
- Before submitting, please read about us to see if your work fits within Room’s mandate.
- Your entry must be original and unpublished (in print or online)
- We accept submissions upto 3500 words. Longer submissions will be rejected automatically.
- Please submit in 12 point font. Times New Roman preferred but not required.
- We gladly accept simultaneous submissions. If another publication accepts your work for publication, please notify us and withdraw your piece immediately.
- Please do not send a second submission in the same genre until you have heard back from us considering the first one (Note: You may enter our contests and submit a regular submission at the same time so long as the materials are different.)
