“Artifice is looking for previously-unpublished stories, prose works, and poems, pieces that are (as the name implies) aware of their own artifice.” In addition, Artifice has pretty lengthy and entertaining Wishlist of “things that we’d be pretty excited to see in our submissions.” I can’t even begin to tell you what these are (you won’t believe me) – check it out for yourself.
