rainy weather days a defiant literary magazine

About

22 members set this magazine as a Favorite.

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.

Voluntary Fees: This project accepts voluntary fees for "tip jar" submissions.

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.
