TWO HAWKS QUARTERLY is a digital journal affiliated with Antioch University Los Angeles’ BA Program in Creative Writing and is setting the bar for contemporary literature with bold and illuminating poetry, fiction, cnf, art, and quality experimental work.
Submissions accepted November 1, 2021 through July 31, 2022.
Two Hawks Quarterly is looking for exquisitely crafted work that will astonish, surprise, challenge, and delight us. THQ accepts simultaneous submissions, but please inform us immediately if your work is accepted elsewhere. All work received is reviewed by at least three editors and often read aloud in a group setting. We strive to respond to every submission within four months or less.
Please send no more than one piece of fiction or creative nonfiction of 5,000 words maximum length at a time, or three pieces of flash fiction or very short CNF. We discourage novel excerpts unless they stand alone and work as satisfying short stories.
We’re interested in all forms of creative nonfiction: memoir, personal essays, and hybrid forms, but not straight reportage, travel writing, or editorializing rants.
Poetry: Our tastes in poetry are eclectic; we like narrative, we like lyrical, we can get excited farmacia aperta over edgy too, but please send no more than five poems at a time. And no first drafts or 2:00 a.m. at the bar compositions -- you'll hate yourself in the morning.
Include a brief cover note with your submission that includes a mini-bio, list of prior publications, and contact information. We tend to read cover notes after we’ve read your work so as not to be swayed by them.
We also feature a few drawings, paintings, photographs, and/or mixed media works in each issue. If you are interested in having us consider your art, please submit it under the Submittable category of Genre X.
All correspondence with THQ goes through our online submissions system Submittable.com. Once we accept your work, we will ask you to send a more detailed biography and photo. You can send that through the same system, simply by designating the submission as photo/bio.
Submit your work here.
Submissions are ongoing.
