Liquid Imagination leads the way with a new artform, merging imagery, words and audio. We seek out fine art, photography, and digital art to enhance your poem or story. We also use the skills of a professional anchorman, Robert Eccles, who reads all the fiction. Liquid Imagination is where audio, visual and literary arts bleed together as one.

Liquid Imagination accepts ALL FANTASY, ALL SCIENCE FICTION, and ALL HORROR, as well as LITERARY fiction.

Starting with Issue 8, to be published at the end of January 2011, we now pay $5.00 per story or poem. We will pay $2 per flash fiction story.

LI accepts reprints, but they must be clearly labeled when submitted.

LI does NOT accept simultaneous submissions.

Please use our submission forms at Submishmash for all submission. Registration with submishmash and submission to Liquid Imagination Online are free: Submit to Liquid Imagination Online

SPECULATIVE FICTION: We are looking for great stories - fantasy, science fiction or horror. We want fantasy creatures and impossible worlds.  We're shooting for short stories up to 3,000 words (our number one preference), but will consider stories above 5,000 words if they knock our socks off.

FLASH FICTION: We are interested in flash fiction from 25 to 800 words. These pieces will have the best chance of acceptance if they surprise us with fresh ideas and language. So impress and stun us, give us compressed stories that will impress our readers, that will make them come back again and again to read your flash.

LITERARY FICTION: Liquid Imagination seeks intense, existential, quality stories of a literary nature above and beyond the speculative fiction we publish. It DOES NOT need fantasy or surrealistic themes. Please send literary fiction to liquidimagination@gmail.com

POETRY: Your poetry can encompass an inanimate object, an animal, musical instrument, faerie, demon, alien world influencing our modern world, or the embodiment of intangible things such as Death or Time. We accept a wide variety of poetry - speculative, horror, modern fantasy, literary, slipstream.

Give us INTENSITY with high EMOTION in your writing and bring AWE to readers.

Please send submissions single-spaced, with one space between paragraphs, no indentions.  The rest will be taken care of by editorial staff.  Those willing to workshop stories/poems that aren't quite right will have greater chances of getting in.  Potential contributors stating such will be examined closely.

Deadlines: We now publish quarterly, on the last day of the following months:

• May
• August
• November
• February
