Submit Your Work for The Parlay!
Our theme this year is: Dark Academia
The theme for the 2024 edition of The Parlay is “Dark Academia”. Coming out of the Covid-19 pandemic, coming out of isolation and coming to realizations about our political climate, there felt a need for nostalgia. A kind that echoed the madness, the melancholy, and the catharsis we all were forced to feel, and again once more. The smell of an old bookstore, the sound of rain falling on cobblestones, the taste of black coffee, and academic validation.
We picked the theme “Dark Academia” because we believe it is a theme that can go down many different creative avenues while still wrapping the collection together in a cohesive bow.
The submission deadline for this edition is March 22nd, 2024!
We’re seeking:
Poetry
Fiction and Non-Fiction
