海阔天空。。。Open seas, wide skies

Submissions to Sine Theta Magazine's 37th issue, themed “VAST 大,” are officially open! Thanks to our Patreon subscribers, Sine Theta Magazine is a paying publication—all contributors will receive a $10 USD honorarium.

In the sprawling streets of the big city, there’s a storm brewing. What’s in infinity? What can we learn from the sky, the sea, caves? In our 37th issue, we call for explorations into the vast. Examine your relationship to space, turn your attention to the structures that oversee our lives. Spin tales of grandeur and open plains. Unpick obsessions and iterations. We’re going large!

Submissions are due SUNDAY, 17 MAY 2026, at 11:59 PM PDT to sinethetamag@gmail.com for full consideration of your work(s). Visit our submissions guidelines for more information. Feel free to DM or email us with any questions you may have; we welcome pitches sent ahead of the deadline!
