Submission Fetish / The Astonishing Objects
A CATALOGUE OF THE CALL

THE ASTONISHING OBJECTS

Every call for submission the press has issued has taken the form of an object — a sigil, a program, a specimen, a report. They are the press's instruments of attraction and the strange evidence those instruments leave behind. This is where they are kept.

Some are doors you can walk through — open calls, still receiving. Others are artifacts: closed files the machinery produced and could not quite explain.

THE NEWEST OBJECT
Open Call · Sigil NEW

The Sovereign Receptacle

The Anglophone Influx

A mythic alchemical sigil that magnetizes, binds, and draws the global currents of the written word into a single sacred point of submission. The Great Magnet's rite, seen from inside the void: the unappeasable inbox that cannot say no. A full call for submissions.

Each object is a different face of the same desire: the moment a text leaves private space and enters a machine. The calls invite that moment. The artifacts are what the machine left behind once it had been entered.
