June newsletter

Welcome to our first newsletter!

It's great to have you with us! We're on a journey to publish excellent speculative fiction from the North of England.

We'll be sending you newsletters just like this at the start of each month, along with the occasional extra message for any big updates.

Anthology theme announcement

Our first anthology will feature short stories on the theme of FOLKLORE.

Give us your folktales and fairy-lore, modern and ancient. Weird folk horror musings. Journeys into the deep countryside, to the threshold of the sea. The dwindling magic of dying ecosystems. Myths from suburbia. Folklore from migrant cultures. Anything and everything inspired by folk traditions, timeless and ever-shifting.

Between 1st July and 30th September, we'll open for submissions linked to this theme. We'll accept stories of 2,000 to 10,000 words, exclusively from writers living in the North of England.

We'll let you know that submissions have opened in our next newsletter, sharing how to submit and what the full guidelines are then!

Friends of Carnyx: The Braag

Carnyx Press likely wouldn't exist without The Braag. Kym gave me my first guest editing gig through their journal Carmen et Error, and I've subsequently leant a hand with cover design, typesetting, and reading submissions.

The Braag is also local to the North East. They publish poetry and speculative fiction pamphlets alongside their quarterly journal, and release some of the most gorgeous, unique, and downright weird writing I've had the pleasure of reading.

They're open for submissions of poetry pamphlets, prose projects and microchapbooks between the 15th June and 31st July, and you can find them on Insta, Bluesky, Facebook, and through their lovely website.

That's all for now. See you next month, and happy writing!
