Submission Guidelines
We publish poetry, prose (flash fiction, short stories, and creative nonfiction), photography and art quarterly. Please review the general and specific genre submission guidelines below before you submit. We also recommend that you read through our past issues to get a sense of what we like and have recently published, and please consider tracking your submission on Chill Subs. Contact us via Twitter, Instagram, or email with any questions.
Submissions are currently closed. Our next reading period for Issue 10 runs June 1-15.
- For this next issue, we're focusing on shorter pieces (800 words or less for prose and half a page per poem for poetry). Visual art should focus on bringing light to the unexpected and challenging perspective.
- We are always seeking more visual art submissions!
