The witch is back! And there's another submission period coming...
It's a new year, but cast your minds back to October 2024 - when we brought out this wonderful issue! If you need any inspiration for your writing this year, this issue is the perfect place to look. toilandtroublelitm.wixsite.com/magazine/copy-…
ISSUE 04: MEMORY is out now! toilandtroublelitm.wixsite.com/magazine/copy-…
Have you remembered what's releasing tomorrow night? ISSUE 04: MEMORY!
I'm so very excited to have a memory-themed short story of mine accepted for ISSUE 04 (think gods and museums and lost love) and can only recommend that everybody read all of the T&T issues 👀🙌
While we're putting ISSUE 04: MEMORY together, why not catch up on our past issues? 🌈 Issue 03: Queer 🐦⬛ Issue 02: Animals 🔮 Issue 01: Magic
This is fate if ever we've seen it! 👀
so excited for this issue to come out, and at least part of that is the fact that both my roommate and i will be in it! (especially funny because we didn't even know we had both submitted to this issue until we shred the acceptance news with each other)
It's #FF and that means another round of beautiful mags to follow! @viridinelit @InkInThirds @lincoln_review @jellysquidmag @HarpyHybrid @CallalooFoundtn @wildscapelit @MEARImag @cityofasylum @PacificaReview @flowlitmag @ManyNiceDonkeys @ToilTroLitMag @ANMLY_LIT

We are so proud to reveal the cover for ISSUE 04: MEMORY, featuring the artwork of Sophie Sawicka. Don't forget: this memorable issue comes out on October 31!
It is so upsetting that we even need to say this, but to be clear: Toil & Trouble do not accept AI written work. In saying that, we wholeheartedly trust that our contributors wouldn't contribute AI anyway. We have such a lovely community and are very grateful ❤️✨️
Please SHARE! Writers! We want to apologize that we are still processing the recent short story submissions. Uncanny Magazine was hit with a massive volume of submissions due to AI subs. We hope to get through the pile over the next two weeks. Thank you for your patience.
Submissions are CLOSED! Thank you to everyone who submitted!
submissions open tomorrow 👀 we are so excited to read your poems 💛
We've recieved over 100 submissions so far, and there's still a few more days to go! Don't forget to submit to ISSUE 04: MEMORY by the end of the month!
