Art, “Escape from Captivity,” by Kathy Bruce, published in the 2024 issue of Making Waves.
Making Waves is published each fall by Ludington Writers, a small, independent, not-for-profit press run by volunteers from a West Michigan writers’ group of the same name.
Theme: Homer’s Oddities
Odysseus’ journey took him to strange new places, encountering the bizarre and unusual, and that’s what we are looking for. Whether you draw inspiration from Homer’s epic poem or your own imagination, we want to see it.
Send us work that evokes epic journeys and flawed protagonists. Drop us in the middle of temptations and tempests. From the seas of the Mediterranean to the nuclear power plant and taverns of Springfield, we’re open to anything, from anywhere.
While we focus on poetry, we also accept visual art and short pieces of non-fiction (essays and memoirs) and fiction (flash, micro, and short stories).
We will consider speculative fiction.
Sequential art should be submitted under the “visual art” category.
