Unleash Creatives’ for writers/by writers publication is designed to do it all. Unleash Lit highlights some of the best contemporary fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction. We are always looking for bold new submissions as well as essays that focus on encouraging writers and also telling truths about Writing and The Writing Life.
Writing can be rewarding and draining in equal measure, and our goal is to share it all. We will publish a variety of voices and perspectives, and if you subscribe, you’ll also get private invites to events and submission opportunities, along with occasional subscriber-only posts.
Submit here.
Who we are:
Our mission as a holistic arts organization is to support authentic storytellers and unleash the power of creativity across diverse communities.
As authors ourselves, it is important to us to create a sense of community in all of our efforts because, as we all know, no creative work is written, completed, and shared alone. To usher one's writing or visual art into the world means to be a part of a larger process that includes editors, publishers, and readers. The creative dance of expression and communication has been historically largely limited to a specific gender, race, and/or wealth status, which has limited the artistic landscape. We believe all voices are valuable, and our mission is to add to the larger discussion and to put our limited resources to work to share voices and stories that may not otherwise be heard. Our vision is to bring the joy of creativity to a wider audience through workshops, publications, and experiences.
We are not the venue for dogma or proselytizing in any form (there are plenty of venues for that).
We believe all voices are valuable, and it is our mission to add to the larger discussion and to put our limited resources to work in order to share voices and stories that may not otherwise be heard. If you publish with Unleash Lit, our blog, or Unleash Press, we consider you family.
How to submit:
We are currently reading for our WIP contest, which asks for 25 sample pages (double-spaced) and a personal statement that discusses your aims as a writer. Unlike other competitions, entries are rated based on the clarity of vision and potential of the project, not how polished the work is. The winner will receive $500 and a mentoring package. Unleash Lit recently reopened to submissions. Find all updates and guidelines here.
Entry Fee: $35.00
Deadline: July 15, 2024
