OUR FIRST-EVER THEME ISSUE: THE ENVIRONMENT ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒŽ

For the first time everโ€”and to celebrate Earth Day on April 22, 2022โ€”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 2022โ€”to align with Earth Day 2022โ€”so weโ€™re looking for 8 pieces in total

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

Again, weโ€™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 betweenโ€”we canโ€™t wait to read your work. ๐Ÿค
