WRITERS: Your are down to just FOUR days left to submit work to our Liar Liar Prize! Send us your best short fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry! 🦊

Description:

Black Fox is accepting submissions for our Fall 2025 Prize. The theme for this round is “Liar Liar.” We are open to loose interpretations of the theme in any genre, as always.

We all bend the truth. Sometimes, it’s a white lie to protect someone we care about, or sometimes it’s a series of lies that become tangled to a point that threatens to collapse everything. For our final contest of 2025, we’re asking writers to dissect deception in all forms: quiet lies, shams, secrets kept, masks worn, counterfeit stories, and half-truths. We want them all. Whether it’s a person wrapped up in their own ruse, a community built on falsehoods, or a quiet moment where honesty is sacrificed for survival, write about how lies shape, devastate, or in some cases, save. Your work should uncover what hides in the shadows and show us why the truth might not always be so simple.

Issue #29 has been a journey. But at last, it’s here. We ran behind schedule on this one and we’d like to thank everyone involved for their patience. Shoutout to the BFLM team for all the work on this! As always, it’s free to read on our website, but you can also buy print copies to help support our efforts. Hope you love this one—we sure do! 🦊
