Anathema: Spec from the Margins Relaunches @ Locus Online

Anathema Magazine banner
Anathema: Spec from the Margins, a speculative fiction magazine “by and for queer people of color,” has announced that it is relaunching after a four-year hiatus.

We’re committed to supporting marginalized writers by paying them a professional rate for their work. To feature up to 4 stories, 4 poems, and 1 nonfiction piece per issue, we plan to pay:

  • $0.08/word for fiction up to 6,000 words
  • $0.05/word for non-fiction up to 3,500 words
  • $50/poem for poems up to 200 lines
  • $250 for original cover art and issue artwork

The editorial team comprises Chloe Colbert, Trae Hawkins, Christian M. Ivey, Amina Kayani, Lark Morgan Lu, Gus Spatharas, and Liza Wemakor. The Kickstarter page notes that this team is twice the size of the team in 2022, when editorial burnout led the project to go on hiatus.

The magazine is currently seeking funding through Kickstarter, with an initial goal of $5,000 to fund two issues (Fall/Spring). The campaign is currently set to close May 31, 2026. The magazine is currently planning to open for submissions, launch a Patreon, and make a call for editors in June 2026. For more information, see the official Kickstarter page.
