Unlikely StorySubmissions

Unlikely Story is undergoing a bit of a metamorphosis. In January 2017, we will be shifting to a new yearly anthology format. In 2016, we’re scaling back in preparation for this change. Our 2016 publishing schedule will be restricted to a couple of mini-issues, the first of which is our now habitual April Fools’ Day issue, which will be coming out, surprisingly, on April 1st, 2016.

Mini-Issue 12.5: The Journal of Unlikely Observances
A Potlatch of Fools
- Publication Date: April 1, 2016
