Plott Hound Magazine opens October 1st. I'm excited to see your poems! That said, please remember we are not looking for AI submissions. Please don't send poems you created with AI, be it generated or edited or otherwise. And please be kind.
With our submission window opening October 1st, now is a good time to remind everyone: Please don't submit AI-generated work. Please don't submit work that was edited by AI. Please don't look at your AI work and think, "No one's gonna know." Please be kind.
When it comes to animals and the animal experience, we love anthropomorphization. Spreading stories and poems that explore animal POV is a key facet of our mission. We have no interest in doing the same to LLMs and other forms of GenAI that negatively impact creative communities.
$610 away from funding. While this anthology is now purely for stories with scales and tails, it looks fun. Check it out!
