Fantastic Floridas

A project of Burrow Press (see other related projects).

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

About

Named after a line from Rimbaud's "The Drunken Boat," Fantastic Floridas publishes poetry, prose, and experimental work that expands and explodes the idea of “Florida Literature.” That includes both place-based, Florida-focused work, as well as a broad range of non-placed based work dealing in Florida themes and textures. We encourage work in all genres and styles from writers of all ages, races, genders, abilities, and cultural backgrounds.

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.

  • 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.
