Breathe FIYAH A project of Reactor Magazine (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (August 2020). We provide the following information as an archive. About Tor.com and FIYAH Magazine are officially open to submissions for Breathe FIYAH, an online flash fiction anthology co-edited by Brent Lambert and DaVaun Sanders. The finished anthology will appear on Tor.com. DaVaun and Brent are accepting submissions for original speculative flash fiction written by Black authors, including those from the Black diaspora and Black African authors. As with short fiction published in FIYAH, they are looking for stories that reject regressive ideas of Blackness, respectability politics, and stereotypes. They want to see the stories you might be afraid to tell, because they deserve to be read. They actively request submissions by Black authors who are members of other under-represented communities. This includes but is not limited to Black authors of any gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, nationality, religion, class, and physical or mental ability.
