Sydney

I am new to creative writing, however, I am working on my BA in English and dove into a creative writing class. I have fallen in love with this craft. It makes sense to me because I also love to read in my free time.

I have recently submitted a piece of flash fiction to the literary journal at my college and my work was accepted and will be published this spring! I am incredibly excited as it is the first time I have ever submitted work.

What I am looking for in a group is to work with like-minded individuals who enjoy reading and writing. My hope is to get my work critiqued or workshopped. My immediate family and friends at work like to read my work, but I am afraid they could be biased because, well, we are family and friends. I am hoping for brutally honest and encouraging feedback.

Atomic Carnival is an independent publisher of weird fiction, including sci-fi, horror, fantasy, and any and all genres in between. 

We aim to publish not just the strange, but the significant and substantial, too. We want to give voices to the marginalized and mistreated, the brainsick and the broken-down. We want to hear from prognosticators and punks, artists and anarchists, from freelancers and gig workers and third-shifters who’ve never once thought about an MFA. From the folks writing from tents and hospital beds and prison cells.

Give us giant monsters as metaphors for environmentalism, slashers as discourses on wealth inequality, intergalactic pigeons trying to burn down the medical-industrial complex. Sci-fi for stoners. Fables from f**k-ups. Bizarro with a broken heart.

Founded under the name Hill Thoughts in 1941, Hanover College’s literary journal Kennings holds the firm mission to seek out intriguing, moving, and engaging works of poetry, fiction, and art. In recent years Kennings has published in a variety of forms: a once-a-year physical book distributed on Hanover’s campus, online “honorable mentions” and contest winners, and coming soon a read-aloud and discussion podcast to honor our roots titled Kennings: Hill Thoughts.

We accept prose, poetry, and art submissions through the months of August 1st to February 14th. Accepted pieces will appear in our print edition of Kennings, which is published once a year in the spring. While we cannot pay contributors at this time, those who are featured in the journal will receive one complimentary copy. We aim to respond to all submissions within six months but feel free to inquire after a month.

For art and photography submissions, please submit as a high-resolution .jpg file.

Please also keep an eye out for contests on our website.

Essays of mine have been published in Salon, The Reject Pile (a satirical magazine), the book Peace Corps at 50, and more recently,  in the literary magazines Coalesce Community and Black Fork Review. My first book, Forever Traveling Home, chronicles moving overseas with toddlers. Marry Me Stop is a book I wrote about my mother's life and lapse into dementia. My husband and I raised our two boys while living overseas with the Foreign Service. I will be an attendee in the Spring '23 Looking Glass Rock Writers' Conference led by Maragret Renkl.

I am looking to give and receive feedback mainly in poetry. I have studied creative writing, women's studies, and multicultural literature in college. I am woman in my 50s and have not pursued publishing and extensive writing for about 20 years. Due to disabilities, a virtual community meets my needs best. I am open to in-person meeting if available nearby. I have experience workshopping poetry...but also gently reading other's writing. I am looking for support, friendships, and critical advice.

I published my first essay last year, and I am looking to write more. I have dabbled for years, always putting my job and other life concerns ahead of writing, but I am finally taking my own writing eriously in terms of giving it priority. I beleive form should be determined by the idea I am pursuing in the writing, but I do lean toward nonfiction and am interested in cross-genre writing.

I would like to find a low-pressure group that exists to support and encourage its members. A group that provided constructive criticism (when asked) would also be appreciated.

Hi there! I'm writing an autofiction book and signed up for a writer's workshop that has been so helpful it inspired me to look for an ongoing group. I've published a little poetry and personal essays in the past, but this is my first attempt at a novel. I minored in creative writing in college, have attended a few writer's retreats and workshops, so I have a bit of experience with workshopping.
