4 L P H 4 N U M 3 R 1 C: 4 L P H 4 N U M 3 R 1 C Podcast Zoetic Press Gold Star Program Gold Star Free

Zoetic Press is looking for poetry and prose for its 4 L P H 4 N U M 3 R 1 C podcast, which has been running since 2015.

We're looking for speculative poetry and prose that work best when read out loud. Stuff that's unimpressive to the naked eye, but a treat for the naked ear. The kind of works that might fall flat on the page, but come alive with the right reader. Nouns that sing. Verbs that dance. Adjectives whose eyelids flutter. Adverbs that play the bongos while wearing a beret and cat-eye sunglasses. You know what we're saying.

Each submission should be a single piece - one short story or poem. Prose pieces are limited to 1500 words, poetry pieces to 50 lines - both are paid at $15 per accepted piece. 4 L P H 4 N U M 3 R 1 C is no longer a part of NonBinary Review.

Each 30 to 45 minute episode will be made up of multiple pieces, both prose and poetry. Accepted pieces will be read by the buttery-voiced Zoetic Press staff, although we are happy to have our mellifluous authors read their own works, provided that they can produce a recording of the necessary volume (quality we can usually fix, but it's hard to pump up the volume on someone who sounds like their microphone was in another room).

The new 4 L P H 4 N U M 3 R 1 C podcast will drop twice monthly on the 10th and 25th of each month beginning August 2025, but submissions are open NOW! Be the first on your block to get your piece accepted!
