Sound & Color is a prompt-driven magazine that publishes calls for speculative fiction based on artworks, photographs and albums, each issue pairing a historical or cultural source with context and a submission brief. Readers get short background essays on the source material, such as Art Kane's Harlem jazz photograph and Alabama Shakes' album, plus guidance for writing flash or short fiction in response.
