WHAT THE UNICORN SEEKS
—
★ Lusterluxe Lit seeks work that is glittery, dazzling, and downright metamorphic in its pizazz. We want spells and witchcraft, or maybe just a few sparkling sentences. Take that however you may, and please bend the constraints you think bind you. Any mentions of unicorns is a plus.
★ We give a lot of attention to young/new writers, so if you've never been published before, we're the place for you.
★ flash fiction up to 1,000 words
★ poetry of reasonable length (micro to 50 lines)
★ digital or (properly photographed) traditional illustration to use in volume headers
