The submission period for Issue 4 of Survival & Beyond is now closed; we are so grateful for all the submissions we received!

Issue 4 of Survival & Beyond seeks creative work that explores and connects to the theme of “home.” "Home" serves as a lens for examining a concept, a sensation, and a place we’ve all uniquely experienced. The theme of “home” can be interpreted as a physical structure, a person, a mental or emotional state, a feeling of belonging, or displacement, and so much more.

This issue will be released in summer 2027.
