OUR FIRST-EVER THEME ISSUE: THE ENVIRONMENT 🌱🌎

For the first time ever—and to celebrate Earth Day on April 22, 2022—CHEAP POP will be curating a SPECIAL THEMED ISSUE in 2022: THE ENVIRONMENT.

This will be a shorter submissions period than usual, so check out the details below and get your environmentally-themed short fiction ready to go:

• All pieces (500 words or less) must be environmentally-themed in some way (climate change, deforestation, or maybe the awe and mystery of nature, etc.)

• Submissions will be open February 1 - 15, 2022

• Pieces will be published in April 2022—to align with Earth Day 2022—so we’re looking for 8 pieces in total

• This special issue will not impact our full June 2022 submissions call

Again, we’re looking for pieces that celebrate the environment, that rally behind it, that feature it as the crux of your work. Fiction, creative nonfiction, something in between—we can’t wait to read your work. 🤍
