Queen Mob’s Teahouse is looking for work for our first short story contest. The theme is With(out) Salvation. Write about: gods, adventure, growth, hope, lost dreams, the future, the past, redemption or despair. But don’t feel limited. Stories pushing the boundaries of narrative form are welcome; queerness is encouraged; challenge our notion of what salvation can even be.

The winner will be published in Queen Mob’s Teahouse as well as in Berfrois and receive a cash prize. Second and third prize will be publication in Queen Mob’s Teahouse.

All submissions will be considered for publication in Queen Mob’s Teahouse.

Please, one submission per writer.

All submissions must be previously unpublished.  Though translation with permissions are welcome.

The submissions period is from 25 March to 25 April.

Winners will be announced by June 25th
