Propagule Magazine is reading fiction for its tenth issue, with a deadline of December 16, 2026. The call is open to writers working in speculative surrealism and adjacent modes—atypicality, unreality, defamiliarization, transgression, alienation, disassociation, lyricality, hypnosis—and the editors state a preference for stories that retain event-progressions or narrative development even when they pursue abstraction or experimentation. Work that has traditionally not been considered literary, including science fiction and fantasy, is explicitly welcomed. The magazine frames its editorial project around new and underrepresented voices, and states that it aims to prove experimental fiction belongs to all. Writers who consider themselves unwelcomed by the genre are strongly encouraged to submit. There is no submission fee. Submissions may range from 1,500 to 10,000 words; pieces below or above this range will not be considered. Flash is open to acceptance, though the excerpt provided does not specify its length parameters. For a writer, the opportunity is publication in a magazine whose editorial identity is built around formal risk and narrative momentum rather than conventional literary realism. The curatorial vision is legible in the call's vocabulary: it rewards work that unsettles perception while still moving through event. The editors provide examples of their taste in the full guidelines, which prospective submitters should consult before sending work.
