NonBinary Review: Metamorphosis — Fiction
Overview
NonBinary Review, an online literary magazine, is currently accepting fiction submissions for an upcoming issue themed 'Metamorphosis.' The journal seeks stories that explore change in its most unpredictable and imaginative forms, moving beyond familiar tropes like caterpillar to butterfly. Instead, the editors call for transformations that are startling, illogical, and revelatory—changes that alter not only form but also perception, identity, and reality itself. This call is not for gentle evolutions but for abrupt, surreal, and often absurd metamorphoses. The examples provided—caterpillar to Lucille Ball's hairdresser, plasma cloud to extra large pizza, shy genius to a sarcastic smart speaker—signal a curatorial vision that prizes originality, wit, and a willingness to embrace the bizarre. The journal is open to a wide range of speculative, literary, and experimental fiction that challenges the boundaries of what transformation can mean. As a no-fee, rolling submission opportunity, NonBinary Review offers an accessible platform for writers at any stage of their career. While no monetary prize is advertised, publication in the journal provides a reputable venue for innovative short fiction. The editors are clearly seeking work that is conceptually daring and stylistically adventurous, work that reimagines the very nature of change.
