Dr. Cicero Magazine

A project of Dr. Cicero Books

This project is believed to be defunct. (December 2021)

About

Dr. Cicero seeks original work that does not fit into obvious categories. We are looking for stories, short screenplays, artwork, etc. that sound different, or that fashion out of the same ink and paper—or their digital equivalents—something fresh. Sometimes, in this age of globalization, we could almost imagine the entire world is doing the exact same thing at the same time, talking about the same thing and the same people, reading the same books and watching the same films and television. The force of this pull is so strong as to be irresistible, causing anything else that might otherwise have seized our attention to disappear from view, even as it still very much exists.

The editors may not respond to all submissions. After waiting 90 days, assume your submission will not be accepted.
