Prompt: Myths, Fables & Folktales
This theme for writers explores Myths, Fables & Folktales.
We’re interested in work that draws from myth, oral tradition, superstition, local legends and family histories, as well as contemporary retellings and re-imaginings of old narratives.
Selected works may be published on odetothem.com, our Substack, or considered for inclusion in our first Ode to Them print publication.
Artists selected for publication will not be asked to pay any additional fees.
Ode to Them open calls are designed to create meaningful opportunities for artists across disciplines. We review every submission with care and welcome experimental, emerging and established voices alike.
Artists submitting through our open calls may also be considered for future Ode to Them exhibitions, events, editorial features and paid collaborative projects.
Submission fee: £3
Word Limit: 1,500
Deadline: 18 September 2026
