Our quarterly literary magazine. We welcome poetry, short prose, and genre-defying pieces. Open to fiction and nonfiction (which will be in different sections). We value deep insight into philosophy, science, politics, and other interesting conceptual realms, with an emphasis on heterodoxy, independent-mindedness and clarity of thought. We publish a new issue every three months, in March, June, September and December.

Deadline

The deadline is 20 June 2025 for Issue 1.

Theme

The theme for the upcoming quarter's issue, Issue 1, is:

THE RECEPTIVE EARTH

Submission

Submit your work to floatingsekudu@gmail.com, in .pdf or .docx format. There is no cost for submission. Submitted work must not have been previously published. Include a cover letter of at most 100 words, and add "Sekudu Quarterly Issue [Issue Number]" in the subject of the email.

Typically, all accepted submissions will be published. You will be notified via email within two months if your submission has been successful. If you do not hear back from us within two months, it is likely that we have not found a suitable place for your work in our publication.

Publication

Each quarter, accepted works will be collected into one issue and published by Sekudu in Singapore at no cost to the creators (we are not a vanity press). At the end of each four-issue cycle, these will be compiled into a larger collection and published. This volume will be given an ISBN, which is valid internationally. Several copies will be deposited with the National Library Board and PublicationSG’s collection. This volume will also be made available internationally on our website and on Amazon, in eBook and print formats. Contributors to each of the issues constituting the collection will receive royalties corresponding to a fractional share of the earnings from each sale based on the number of their pieces in each volume.
