GUIDELINES

We welcome creative nonfiction of all kinds. Submissions should not exceed 6,000 words. 

Please only send finished work. No pitches.

For editorial purposes, we prefer work submitted as Word documents and do not accept PDF files. Please do not include any photography, illustrations, or other attachments that will not be included in the final published work. If your work does include such additions, you must provide copyright information and permissions in your cover letter.

In addition to your submission, please include the following information in your cover letter: the title of your entry, its genre and word count, and your email address (we will use it if we don't hear from you through Submittable).

Multiple submissions for the same genre in the same reading period are not accepted, but simultaneous submissions to other journals are accepted. If you would like to submit to multiple genres (e.g. a piece of fiction and three poems), please contact us directly to alert us of such a submission. We will only publish one submission per author per issue.

We do not accept work previously published work, including on social media and in podcasts. 

Submissions close on Monday, September 1, 2025.

We use Submittable to accept and review our submissions.
