creatures magazine is now taking submissions for our upcoming issue on the theme of :consumption. The submissions window is open until April 1.

We’re looking for poems, short fiction and essays, photography, illustration, artwork, videos… and possibly more – surprise us.

Essays and stories should be typed and attached to your submission email in word (doc/dox) or pdf format. The themes are open to your interpretation – we’re looking for interesting takes, whether clearly or tenuously linked. Our publication celebrates short-form content, so please keep the word count under 1,000 words.
