SALT

in the wound

An Anthology of Justice, Equality, and Resistance

We are seeking work that burns.

Salt in the Wound is a forthcoming anthology of poetry, prose, nonfiction, and hybrid forms on the themes of justice, equality, and resistance. This collection is for the words that won’t stay quiet. The truths that refuse to scab over. The ones that bleed, bite, and insist on being heard.

If you’ve been told your voice is too political, too angry, too queer, too much—good. Send it.

▼ What to Submit:

• Poetry (any form)
• Nonfiction (memoir, essay, reflection, critique)
• Short Prose (flash fiction, lyrical narrative)
• Hybrid (fragmented, found, uncategorisable)
• Up to 3 pieces total
• Poetry: up to 3 pages each
• Prose: up to 2,500 words each

▼ How to Submit:

• Attach your work as a .doc, .docx, or .pdf
• Email to: riverandceliainunderland@gmail.com
• Use subject line: Salt in the Wound Submission
• Deadline: 16th June 2025
• No bios. No cover letters. Just your words.

▼ Equity in Action:

$1 from every copy sold will go to the Black Trans Coalition.

Because justice should be more than a metaphor.

Spread this call far and wide. Share with the loud. The silenced. The grieving. The furious.

LET’S MAKE SOMETHING UNIGNORABLE.
