Shifter Mag is now looking for submissions for our next issue!
Volume II Issue 2 is themed Bittersweet. This is a dual concept issue, allowing artists, writers, and creators to encompass either their sweet or bitter side. Are you cloyed with life? Stuck on a silver lining? Has something, or somewhen or someone, ever been so sweet you turned sour? Let us know.
Bittersweet is all about sweetness with a bitter aftertaste, about the arousing pleasure tinged with sadness or pain, or the plummeting pain followed by a silver lining. The concept of bittersweet follows the entanglement of emotions within ourselves, the sensation we can't be both happy and sad at the same time; but at the same time, we can be winners and losers simultaneously.
Submissions for our issue can include (but are not limited to):
-
art (any form)
-
photography
-
essays
-
poems
-
stories
-
look books
-
playlists
-
thoughts
-
secrets
-
anything else you might come up with!
