The Aftershock Review: Issue Five - The Aftershock Review Fee: gbp £3.00

Deadline: Sunday, November 15, 2026 11:59 PM GMT Standard Time (in 16 days).

Issue Five is now open for submissions. Closing date November 15th. Publication date January 2027.

With it being a late winter/springish issue we would love to consider work about winter revivals and spring rebirth however our themes naturally develop from the work submitted.

Issue One named the aftershock, Issue Two mapped what remained, Issue Three dared to ask the question of hope, and Issue Four asked how do we survive when there are no instructions left for us. Issue Five - perhaps - will show us a way forwards.

But that depends on what arrives.
