Cherry Tree: A National Literary Journal @ Washington College opens for submissions for its fifth issue from August 1 to October 1, 2018! We are writers who value and publish well-crafted short stories, poems, and creative nonfiction essays that are not afraid to make us care. We want work that braves to be, that dares to be. We encourage well-informed work where the form understands its relationship with the content. We want pieces that seem wise, that are unafraid to confront topics that matter, and that speak with urgency, that beg for an ear to listen. We want to read vividly-drawn characters who challenge and enlarge our sympathy.
Although the journal is still very young, Cherry Tree has already received national recognition.. Poems from the first two issues have been selected for inclusion in both the 2016 and 2017 editions of The Best American Poetry, chosen by editors Edward Hirsch and Natasha Trethewey. Several poems from the first issue were also featured on Verse Daily.
Cherry Tree is an annual print journal that pays $20 to each contributor, along with two contributors’ copies of the issue in which their work appears. From August 1 to October 1, please send us your best poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and literary shade!
Submit your work through our Submittable portal.
