Cunning Folk Magazine

See other projects related to this listing.

About

Cunning Folk is an independent magazine covering magic, mythology, folklore and the occult.

To innovate, we have to imagine. This is something artists and scientists at the forefront of their respective fields have always understood—you don’t find new ideas only by re-visiting what is known, but by imagining new possibilities and setting foot into the unknown.

The editors may not respond to all submissions. After waiting a reasonable amount of time, assume your submission will not be accepted.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
