Description:

Black Fox is accepting submissions for our Summer 2026 Fox Tales Prize. The theme for this round is “Longing.” We are open to loose interpretations of the theme in any genre, as always.

What human being hasn’t desperately wanted something? This season, Black Fox Lit is challenging writers to create (or polish up) stories and poems around the theme of longing. We’re looking for work that explores any aspect of the word—the longing for a person, or a job, or revenge, or a home, or fame, or an object. What does your character or speaker desire, and is it attainable? The approaches are endless. We’re looking for work that uncovers how longing informs decisions, impacts outcomes, and can be a driving force in our lives.

ONE DAY, writers! Our Longing Prize closes 8/31/26! Send us your best short fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry! 🖤🦊...
