Permafrost is a literary magazine with a demonstrated commitment to work that resists easy categorization. This call is specifically for hybrid submissions: stories in verse, speculative nonfiction, graphic essays, excerpts from comics or graphic novels, sound play, and other experimental or multimodal texts. The editors are explicit that they value hybridity as a method for rethinking language and genre, not as a gimmick. The scope is international and the publication medium is split: accepted work may appear in the fall online issue or the spring print issue, and submitters are invited to note a preferred medium. What the magazine offers is publication in a respected venue with both digital and print reach, and a curatorial frame that treats hybrid work as central rather than marginal. There is no prize attached to this call, and no monetary award is stated. The fee is $5 USD, which is a reading fee rather than a subscription or contest charge. The deadline is exact: May 2, 2027. Work may be up to 8,000 words. Hybrid submissions do not need to be double-spaced; the editors ask that you submit the work as you would like it to appear, which is a meaningful signal about their respect for the visual and spatial dimensions of the text. The curatorial vision here is one of formal intelligence. Permafrost is not looking for work that merely mixes media for novelty; it is looking for work in which hybridity is structurally necessary—where the interplay of text, image, sound, or genre is the argument. The note about copyright for audio and visuals is a practical reminder that the magazine expects submitters to have cleared rights before submission. This is a call for practitioners who think of the page, the screen, and the audio file as legitimate sites for literary work.
