Submission Bowl or Writing Bowl? If you’re writing today, we have a few new winter prompts! You can also find these on the BFLM blog! Happy writing! 🦊📝✨

27/01/2025

This seems like a good time to remind everyone about our newsletter! Our newsletter is the best place for all things Black Fox Lit, including our upcoming contests, submission deadlines, weekly updates on what we’re working on, latest blog posts, and more! Link is in our bio!

Don’t forget: free general submissions are open! Our Winter Prize with theme Rise or Ruin is also open until 3/30/25! 🦊

12/01/2025

Our winter prize is officially open! We’re excited for a new year of contest themes! We love coming up with new ones and are having the best time reading all those themed subs! Here’s the description:

Black Fox is accepting submissions for our winter writing prize. The theme for this round is “Rise or Ruin.” We are open to loose interpretations of the theme in any genre, as always.

Good reputation or bad? Reputations can mold destinies, define legacies, and/or echo through history. We invite writers to investigate a reputation’s power, potential, and frailty. Will your hero rise or will your legends fall? Give us themes of redemption, scandal, honor, or betrayal—where truth or lies can shift the direction of a life or shatter a legacy in a single moment. We’re looking for work that will uncover truths behind personas and reveal the complex layers of how we are perceived and remembered.

Full details are on our website and Submittable page! Links in bio! 🦊

A new year means new opportunities for submitting your work! Here’s our schedule for 2025! We are open to free subs and our winter prize will be open very soon! 🦊

01/01/2025

Happy New Year, everyone! We are excited to publish more of your words this year! We hope to continue to grow the magazine and we can’t wait to share our plans! We’ll post our 2025 submission and contest schedule later this week! For now, free subs are officially open again! We also have a writing goals class coming up later this month (see our last post or the link in bio), and the winter prize will be open soon! Cheers to 2025! 🦊

WRITERS: Let’s get the writing party started right in 2025! Our EIC is teaching our first online class of the year! Join us on January 18, 2025 at 2 PM EST for Goals, Routines, and Mindset for Writers! Register via our Submittable page! (Link in bio.) 🦊

Class Description:

Every writer dreams of achieving their goals—whether it’s finishing a novel, starting a blog, revising a short story, or simply starting a routine to write more consistently. However, without a clear plan and the tools to stay on track, those goals can feel out of reach.

In Goals, Routines, and Mindset for Writers, you’ll learn how to set meaningful, achievable writing goals and build the systems needed to stick to them. This class focuses on practical tools, including time management techniques, habit-building strategies, and an exploration of how to set the right goals for yourself. You’ll also gain insights into overcoming common obstacles—like getting stuck and losing motivation—so you can stay focused and make consistent progress.

Learn how to create a clear roadmap for your writing journey and have the confidence to follow it. Whether you’re aiming to complete a project, establish a daily writing habit, or take your craft to the next level, this class will equip you with everything you need to succeed.

Set your goals, stick to them, and watch your writing thrive. Join us and take the first step toward the writer you want to be.

This class will be taught via Zoom and attendees may decide to attend live or register to receive the recorded class.

Thank you to everyone who submitted to our Fall Prize with theme Fragments of Time! We are honored that you trusted us with your work and cannot wait to dive in! We also want to thank everyone who submitted their work to our free general categories during the open period! We have a ton of reading to do! If you missed deadlines this time around, don’t worry, we will be back at it in January when our free categories open again! 🦊📝✨

01/12/2024

⏰ LAST DAY to submit to our fall prize with theme Fragments of Time! Send us your subs before midnight! 🦊

Visit our site for full submission details. In the meantime, here is the description:

Black Fox is accepting submissions for our fall writing prize. The theme for this round is “Fragments of Time.” We are open to loose interpretations of the theme in any genre, as always.

When we think of time, we often think of a ticking clock.
But time is more than merely seconds, minutes, hours, or measurements. Time also has the power to shape our lives.

It can be a fleeting moment, a seemingly endless stretch, or a loop. Time can be a guardian of memories, the signal for change, and the constant that connects us to the world around us.

For this contest, we’re looking for writers to explore the intricacies of time: How does it mold us, ruin us, or set us free? Is time a friend or an enemy? Does time heal or wound? Whether it’s traveling through centuries, racing against the clock, or pausing in a single, spectacular moment, we want work that investigates the mysteries, difficulties, joy, or wonder of time.

Submit via our Submittable page or go to the link in bio!

We heard you like to read literary magazines! Hi, we’re Black Fox Lit and we have 27 issues full of short stories, poetry, and creative nonfiction! Link in bio! 🦊

LAST DAY to submit to our Summer Fox Tales Contest with theme Portraits of Failure! You’ve got until the clock strikes midnight! 🦊 What we’re looking for: Black Fox is accepting submissions for its Summer 2024 Fox Tales writing prize. The theme for this round is “Portraits of Failure.” We are open to loose interpretations of the theme in any genre, as always. We’re challenging writers to delve into the moments when plans collapse, dreams are crushed, and efforts fall short. How does a person grapple, adapt, and ultimately grow from their failures? What unexpected insights or opportunities arise from these experiences? Is failure sometimes final? What does that mean for a person when it is? For this contest, we hope writers will explore the hidden beauty, resilience, heartbreak, disappointment, and wisdom that stem from the greatest setbacks.
