Stanza’s 2024 anthology

The Sacred and the Divine

Stanza is proud to open submissions for our 2024 anthology.

Artistic Prompt

What is your experience with the divine? Your relationship to the sacred? How do you define magic and where does it appear in your life? For the second offering from our publishing arm, we’re calling upon writers to submit work, in the form of a short story, essay, play, or poetry, that keeps us in conversation with the greater Mysteries. This need not be about a literal religious experience but it might be, too. Tell us your tale, a story within this framework, knowing that the miraculous and fantastical are heartily welcomed and encouraged.
