rainy weather days: a defiant literary magazine (Gold Star Program) Gold Star Our magazine was founded in 2024 as a "cozy" literature magazine, however, we are now in the process of transitioning to publishing resistance literature.We value artistic expression! We are looking for works that are daring, even challenging. Works should protest right-wing ideology, particularly of the far/alt-right variety. Our digital releases will come in many convenient formats as well, including e-reader formats.We plan to release digital and print versions of our magazine on a quarterly basis. We may release some free online or online-only stories on our website from time to time as well (authors will be asked beforehand for permission for an online release.)We are located in the Jackson, Mississippi greater area/Huntsville, Alabama greater area.We will open for submissions for volume 3 and 4 December 1, 2024!We pay $25 for accepted prose, $10 for accepted poetry, and $50 for accepted cover art.
