We've been running seriously low on submissions, and there's only a week left!! Please do spread our submission call~~

We got 76 submissions to our micro contest (thank you!!), but they're really good, so you're making it really difficult to make a decision (how dare you??!).

📢 To avoid super slow response times when we reopen April 1, we will: - Provide feedback only to those who ask after we send our response - No longer offer R&Rs. It was a neat idea but didn't work out - No longer accept multiple submissions (simultaneous subs are still cool)

As we get ready to reopen general submissions, we are hosting a micro contest! - Send us your itty bitty words. 100-word limit for prose. 30-word limit for poetry. - Open NOW through March 20. - $10 for the winner, announced April 1. More details here: unfortunatelylitmag.com/micro-contest/

We have a new experimental poem from Cailin Chua (@KuroKairin)! If you're stressed, read this one slowly. Oh. So. Slowly. When you savor each word, this piece will chill you right out. Read it here: unfortunatelylitmag.com/2022/01/27/ser…

We have a new story from Gary Campanella that's about a bird but also not at all about a bird. It begins with: When my wife says, "I’ll be gone four days, make sure you keep the bird alive," I understand. Pets are important. Read the rest here: unfortunatelylitmag.com/2022/01/20/fre…

@girlfacemcgirl1 @Pancheers Was this fast enough? 🤔 😇

Usually I’d wait until things #dieddown a bit before seeing #Scream5 but in the era of spoilers we live in, I couldn’t risk it. Bet you didn’t know Scream was one of my favorite movies of all time! instagr.am/p/CYzE7kircQw/

I honestly didn’t think it was going to snow like this, but here we are. It also makes me realize I need to add #snowstorms to my writing. #writinginspiration instagr.am/p/CYRV106Lc1D/

This past year was something out of a dystopian nightmare for a lot of us. As we greet 2022, here are some of the incredible #blackwomenofscifi to help us start the year right! Cookies if you can name them all without Google! instagr.am/p/CYNhPI_LnMP/

RIP Betty White! instagr.am/p/CYKPv76LBQE/

We have a new story from David Obuchowski (@DavidOfromNJ), who knows just how to wield an unreliable narrator. Many people have someone like this in their family, which makes this a tough, but important story. Read it here: unfortunatelylitmag.com/2021/12/23/don…

Who put up an eighth bookshelf and still has more books to unpack? This guy! 🧙🏿‍♂️ instagr.am/p/CXjtVzDLLux/

RIP to the Queen of the Vampires herself, Anne Rice 🖤

Within me lies the expanse of the universe and all that dwells within it. Within me is the power to create and destroy. Materialize and Massacre. Conjure and Condemn. I am the Weaver and the Warrior. The Warden and the Warmonger. The Will and the … instagr.am/p/CXPRbLVLNPP/
