They accept commentary, social or otherwise, creative non-fiction, fiction, and poetry. For the Disobedience theme their guidelines say, “subTerrain has always prided itself on its rejection of the status quo, and in this issue we will feature work that explores disobedience as progress, as chaos, or as morality. Or perhaps the works will be an act of disobedience themselves, in that they flout the so-called rules of genre.” They accept non-fiction of up to 4,000 words and pay CAD0.10 per word, up to CAD500. They are reading for this issue until end-April. Online submissions are charged, but there is no fee for mailed submissions. Details here.
