Welcome back for this month’s Submission Roundup! America has completely fallen apart since last we met, so this is a less jubilant post than normal. But art is one of the greatest forms of resistance, so let’s keep resisting fascism, shall we?

A disclaimer as always: I’m not a representative for any of these markets. Please direct your questions to their respective editors.
