My story is in this~! It's 1900 words, a 7-minute read. "The Sound of Falling Water" features a stiff man searching for his wife in a town of people who never stop moving. It's inspired by magic realism, whose writers are among my favorites. It is my last publication of 2023. 🥹 tinyurl.com/sndof

If any lit mags have time to talk to us (lol. We know you don’t have time—neither do we!) about how they took a mag from a labor of love to a paying market, we’d be so grateful. Specifically, do you need to become a 501c3? How do you crowdfund to pay authors in a non sketchy way? And taxes? Ughhh.

Hi there! Bone Parade is open for submissions through October 15th! We only need one more story for the next issue. Please send us your weird and wonderful genre-bending stories! We're also kind of in the mood for a cozy existential crisis, if that exists? www.boneparade.com/submit/

Hi Bluesky! Bone Parade is a literary journal publishing quality works of magical realism, fabulism, speculative, weird, and genre-bending fiction. We’re partial to character driven stories that sift through the mucky waters of ethics and existentialism. #SpecLit #WritingCommunity
