Porcupine is published twice each year. Issues contain a mixture of poetry, short fiction, essays, feature interviews, and visual art work. Cover art is occasionally selected from submitted material. We welcome unsolicited manuscripts and art work throughout the year. There are no restrictions as to theme or style. Prose should be readable, professional, and of a high quality. Make us care about the characters. Poetry should be accessible and highly selective. If a submission is not timely for one issue, it will be considered for another.

Send a sampling of visual art work, one prose piece, or one to three poems at a time (mail genres separately). Art work should be submitted as transparencies or 8x10 glossy prints. We can accommodate a limited number of full color reproductions. Black and white is encouraged. Prose should be double spaced on one side only and should not be longer than twenty-five pages (shorter pieces will receive stronger consideration). Although we are interested primarily in short stories, novel excerpts are acceptable if self- contained. Poems should be individually typed on one side of the page. Each page should include the author's name. Feature interviews are commissioned and are not accepted without prior arrangement. Previously published material or simultaneous submissions are not considered.

It is recommended that the magazine be reviewed prior to submitting material (send $5.00 for a sample copy). Submissions should be mailed with SASE to: Porcupine, PO Box 259, Cedarburg, WI. 53012. The outside of the envelope should state: "Fiction", "Essay", "Poetry", or "Art Work" . Unsolicited material sent directly to an editor's home or office will be discarded. Expect ten to twelve weeks for a response. Payment is one copy upon publication.

Submissions of shorter pieces of work will also be accepted through E-mail at ppine259@aol.com

Faeryrealms.com publishes short stories, poems, reviews, artwork and articles about faeries, also true life encounters with the Fair Folk. We are a family friendly site, with readers of all ages. Works may be targeted specifically to children, or to adults. Hint: there is always room for flash fiction [under 2000 words] and poems sonnet length or shorter.

Faery Realms does not pay writers, although they do get a publication credit, a paragraph about them and their work [if they wish], and a link to their website, if applicable. This can be a valuable tool for self-publishers and people selling or promoting their work online.

We also need more works for young children. If you need more information, please feel free to e mail me.

Thank you,

Entering the Forbidden Countries by Edgar Calabia Samar Writing can be a form of healing. In many ways, such as in the case of Mars in his journal accounts here, writing has some therapeutic effects to an individual's inner self. It recuperates our soul, it gives a fuller understanding of our being. It makes us realize who we really are and in what direction we are really going. From the beginning, Mars had to admit that he is "...always good at starting a journal - or a diary, but I always couldn't keep myself on writing. Perhaps, I had always been stopped by fear. I was always afraid of things I knew nothing about: what would my friends think of my thoughts, how would my family react with the things I wanted to say and do, and things like that. But still, I am here. Writing. And struggling." This is an account of his attempts to explore the forbidden countries of his mind - to say what he really wants to, without inhibitions. To be himself at least through this. Mars further reflects on his condition and dilemma as an individual and says, "I would like to think that I am a coward. I would like to believe that until now, I am still afraid of the things that had caused me the same fears before. But that's part of me just as those fears are still part of the territories I've been living my life with. But I guess, to get into the areas of my being that I hadn't allowed myself to enter for so long, even once in a while, for now, is still worth the risks." (Click for details...)
