Calling for Summer Submissions


 

I am searching for escape artists—writers who can calm and quiet someone with words. Writers who can soak the reader’s mind with tranquil thoughts. If you are up to the challenge, please submit poems, short stories, haiku, essays, studies, and any other form. It can relate to summer or peaceful concepts in general. 

I look forward to the calm.

Note: Two weeks until the June deadline (I extended it to June 8).

A Halcyon Greeting


For you have brought me peace
          the peace of great tranquil waters, and the quiet of the summer sea.

Welcome


Welcome to Halcyon Days, the expanded version of Halcyon which focused on just the seasons. I was pleased with the magazine and received lots of positive feedback. The only drawback was having to reject publication-worthy submissions because of my own guidelines--I required a seasonal theme. Despite getting manuscripts that strayed from the guidelines, their literary beauty impressed me. So, I expanded the magazine to include more generalized topics.


Halcyon Days will still have the same uplifting content, images, and message. It's a publication to help you discover the peaceful things in life. It compliments the phrase “Keep Calm.” Themes will focus on comfortable circumstances, fun, good things, times of plenty, prosperity, and content that quiets you down.
