About the magazine

Elysian Literary is an online literary platform that publishes speculative and fantastical writing, with a particular emphasis on immersive world-building and lyrical prose. Founded as a digital-first magazine, it has cultivated a readership drawn to mythic and cosmic themes, often featuring work that blends literary sensibility with genre elements. Its open calls, such as the "Where The Stars Fell" author application, invite writers to contribute to themed anthologies or serialized projects, reflecting a curatorial interest in cohesive, atmospheric narratives.

Submitting your work

Reading periodOpen now

Writers should review the specific theme of each call closely, as Elysian Literary favors submissions that engage directly with the announced concept. Prose should be polished, with attention to sensory detail and narrative voice. Simultaneous submissions are generally accepted, but notify promptly if accepted elsewhere. Include a brief cover letter with publication credits, if any, and a short bio. Response times vary, so query after three months if no reply.
