From over 1000 new bones in the pile, we received nearly 200 CNF, over 800 fiction, and over 3000 poems from 55+ countries!! What an amazing third open call. Now, we (continue to) read.

Of course it’s indigenous peoples’ day…what else would you celebrate

Don't listen to the voices saying to play it safe. Write, read, and pub works a fascist would want to ban and wear their attempts as a badge of honor.

Every day Shauri and Scum switch off promoting themselves in an endless power grab that will overall go nowhere

Exposed Bone Literary Magazine @exposedbonemag.bsky.social · Aug 25

Despite Scum being sucked into a wormhole and Shauri moving (both equally stressful) we are still working on copy editing Vol. III, so don’t worry! We aren’t defunct—just busy busy!

This social media thing is hard when you’re chained by the ankle to a runaway buffalo

This issue is so fire it set my apartment complex ablaze 🔥 (jokes aside, my place is totally fine, don’t worry)!

Reminder to refresh your browser before you start writing comments on pieces so they don’t deLETE AND DISAPPEAR

The preorder process for Vol. III will look like Vol. I where you’ll just order a copy through our website; no third party website headaches!

Exposed Bone Literary Magazine @exposedbonemag.bsky.social · Jul 23

We really are excited for Vol. III…there’s some amazing work like nothing EB has shared before!

Yeah it took us a lot longer to get responses sent out than previously mentioned…PLEASE let us know if you still have not received a response; we’re still new to submittable!

Our Vol. III cover is fresh(?) from @francesfish.bsky.social!

Pulling our designers out of their crypts to help us decide on a cover, and boy do they have morning breath.

Exposed Bone Literary Magazine @exposedbonemag.bsky.social · Jul 1

Reading is done; there’s a couple pieces in the shortlist to go through and we have to finalize a cover but then we’ll announce the ToC!!

Exposed Bone Literary Magazine @exposedbonemag.bsky.social · Jun 30

It’s the last day of our reading period so keep your seeing orbs trained on your inbox in the next 2-3 days for the rest of the sub responses!!

Exposed Bone Literary Magazine @exposedbonemag.bsky.social · Jun 26

So do we get an award for reading all these submissions or what

Exposed Bone Literary Magazine @exposedbonemag.bsky.social · Jun 23

These are the two to blame for Scum studying English, so attack them if you’d like

This thing crawled out from behind one of my bookcases and won’t stop telling us to publish sick shit.

Happily by, for, and about the LGBTQIA+

Our third issue is heating up with Chris’ work!!

Chris Campeau @chriscampeau.bsky.social · Jun 17

What’s up, void? Another story acceptance just came in hot. This one’s personal. Bleak. So excited to be working with the fine folks at @exposedbonemag.bsky.social. More to come!

Exposed Bone Literary Magazine @exposedbonemag.bsky.social · Jun 17

Just dropped off some copies at Haunted Burrow Books in Capitol Hill, Seattle for their grand opening on Friday! It’s our first time having our stuff stocked anywhere, and it really has my heart racing.

Exposed Bone Literary Magazine @exposedbonemag.bsky.social · Jun 16

We’ve accepted 19 poems, 14 flash pieces, and 2 CNF (something new to Vol. III) so far! This book is going to be quite a tad bigger than previous issues which is super exciting.

Exposed Bone Literary Magazine @exposedbonemag.bsky.social · Jun 13

It’s a good thing this pride month that everyone in the LGBTQIA+ is hot enough to melt ice.

Exposed Bone Literary Magazine @exposedbonemag.bsky.social · Jun 10

We’ve been accepting some heat, and we may have to turn this call into Vol. IV too 😂

Exposed Bone Literary Magazine @exposedbonemag.bsky.social · Jun 8

Responses are continuing to roll out, so keep an eye on which way the needle points!
