Submissions are accepted year-round on a rolling basis, and we publish digital issues in winter, spring, summer, and fall.
long con magazine, long con workshops, and Collusion Books are a unified not-for-profit operation. All revenue and donations are used to compensate contributors and to keep the lights on.
