That is right! End of the world magazine now has optional bi-monthly themes for writing submissions. Which means you do not have to submit your writing within the boundaries of this theme but can and are encouraged to. For the January-February months, the theme is rebirth, renewal, or reawakening. As mentioned before, end of the world is interested in the weird, in something new and untraditional. Writers are encouraged to take our monthly prompts as a rough guideline to expand upon.
