Presses and Calls on the Acolyte Submission System

Haven Spec is a speculative fiction magazine featuring stories and poems for a 21st century audience. We love stories with a sense of adventure, stories that teach us, that touch us, that leave us wanting more. We especially like writing that is subtle in its telling and that sticks with us long after we've finished, and we're more likely to buy stories that balance a sense of wonder with a bold plot and emotional depth. For poetry, most important to us is vivid imagery, clever lyricism, and a strong emotional core.

Our goal remains to publish diverse voices from around the world, and to do that, we are actively seeking stories, poems, and non-fiction pieces by authors from backgrounds that have been historically underrepresented in the science fiction and fantasy canon. As writers ourselves, we do our best to handle what you send us with the care and attention it deserves.

No seriously, this is not a real publication. It exists only so that we can test the functionality of the new submission system. Anything submitted to this very fake and not real magazine will be burned in open graves under midnight moons or drowned in the briny sea without ever being read.

Thank you for your understanding.
