Luna's March Submission Madness: 65 No-Fee Submissions in Late March 2025

Luna's March Submission Madness: 65 No-Fee Submissions for Poetry and Prose in March 2025 

On 3/12 I lost the best submission buddy and companion ever. Luna sat with me while I was working on writing, submissions or submission-related projects for literally thousands of hours in the 18 years she graced us with her magnificent presence. While she is no longer a physical presence in my living room or bedroom, or stretched out in a random beam of sunlight, she will forever be in my heart and my memory. In honor of her awesomeness, I decided to do a good old fashioned literary journal article, all no fee submissions which are open currently.

I have been writing these sort of articles for as long as Luna was alive, back to the days of my original writing and prompt blog Incendiary Lit which now only resides on the Wayback Machine, and she was by my side or in my lap or meowing for Temptations cat treats the whole time. This one’s for you Loo. Even though I’ll never again stroke your fur or get a ‘hug’ from you, I will always love you.

May her inspiration help you all publish some writing. Good luck in your submission endeavors!
