Submissions

Submissions for Issue 1 are now open. The deadline for submissions is April 30th.

The theme of Issue 1 is Solitude.

Aduantas is a feeling of unease, anxiety or fear brought on by unfamiliar surroundings or unknown people; it is the sense of being alone or out of one’s comfort zone. We want work that represents this feeling of aduantas or loneliness.

Aduantas Literary Magazine welcomes poetry and short fiction submissions from writers based in Ireland and the United Kingdom. We strongly encourage work from new and emerging writers, as well as members of minority groups or underrepresented communities.
