A story about a woman having a hard time with motherhood is not speculative as this happens in our present, real world, but having her give birth to prickly twin triangles, a 100-edged hectagon - or a smooth sphere when her marriage is happy - is speculative. Giving birth to shapes becomes a metaphor for marital discord.
Next! (working title) is open to submissions from Black British writers. Our broad definition of 'Black British' is simply one of self-identification: i.e., if you are a writer ‘of colour’ born, raised, living, or have lived in Britain and self-identify as Black British, then we welcome your submission.
