We are looking for stories that experiment with form, genre, voice, character, and beyond; stories that engage with and push beyond the boundaries of convention. Send us your stories that are strange, surreal, and sincere, stories that are driven by the unexpected and meaningful. We are particularly excited to read stories by historically marginalized writers. Read a few of our most recently published stories to get an idea of what we’re passionate about.

Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but let us know immediately if the piece is accepted elsewhere. We only consider unpublished work.

Submission Guidelines for Nonfiction: Double-spaced, 12-point (readable) font, with name, address, and email on the submission. Format the document as .doc, .docx, .pdf, or .rtf. Please include a brief cover letter, and remind us if we know you.

For the current Submission Period, we will consider essays, memoir, and other forms of creative nonfiction of NO MORE than 5000 words, with contemporary styles and an attention to language, form, and consciousness. Our ideal word count is around 3500, but we're open to more as well. We especially encourage submissions from Black and Indigenous writers, writers of color, writers with disabilities, writers from LGBTQIA+ communities, and voices that have been historically under-represented and minoritized in the publishing world.

Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but let us know immediately if the piece is accepted elsewhere. We consider only previously unpublished work.

Send us your weird, your strange, your hybrids, your rough edged, thorned, and deadly. We want the poetry that captures, transports, conjures, imagines, materializes you on a page. We consider poetry of any form, style, or focus. Stretch out language(s), blend them, if your work is bilingual/trilingual/a polyglot, send us the magic. The poems that don’t seem to fit, that the mold can’t seem to hold, we want them to find a home here. Black and Indigenous people, and people of color; LGBTQIA+, people with disabilities, and other voices that have been historically under-represented and marginalized, help us redefine normal.

IF your work is inspired by or borrows heavily from the work of other poets/writers/artists, please tell us about this in your cover letter.
