Call for Submissions: Ecotone

Ecotone open to poetry and nonfiction 12/26/2018–1/1/2019 

Ecotone, the literary magazine dedicated to reimagining place, welcomes work from a wide range of voices. We are particularly interested in hearing from writers historically underrepresented in literary publishing and in place-based contexts: people of color, Indigenous people, people with disabilities, gender-nonconforming people, people who are LGBTQIA+, women, and others. We welcome the work of emerging writers. Please review our complete guidelines before submitting. We strongly encourage writers to read work we've published before sending their own. A selection of writing and art from recent issues is featured on our website, where you can also order a copy of the magazine.

Upcoming submissions windows: For winter 2018/19, Ecotone is open to submissions, by post and via Submittable, from December 26–January 1. For this reading period, as we work to regain time lost to UNC Wilmington's monthlong closure during and after Hurricane Florence, we will be open to poetry and nonfiction submissions, but closed to fiction. Submissions are considered for all new issues; we will be reading for upcoming unthemed issues as well as our fall 2019 issue, themed Love, for which we are especially interested in seeing new and rigorous takes on the sonnet, the rondel prime, and the bref double. More details here.

During open reading periods, writers may send one submission, regardless of genre, online or via USPS. There is a $3 fee to use the online system, which is waived for current subscribers. If you are not a subscriber, on completion of your submission, we'll send a discount for $3 off a year's subscription (or renewal) to the magazine.
