Glint Literary Journal celebrates innovation in style and voice.
We welcome submissions in poetry, short fiction, lyric essays, book reviews, visual art, and hybrid forms that combine any of the above.
We also appreciate aesthetic endeavors that straddle boundaries between genres. We celebrate collaborations between artists and writers as well as multi-genre, multi-modal creators.
Glint is especially invested in publishing work by and about persons of diverse cultural backgrounds, genders, sexual orientations, nationalities, classes, and religions.
Our primary submission period runs from the beginning of November through the end of April. We accept poetry, short fiction, creative nonfiction, and other forms of hybrid writing. We appreciate lyric essays, prose poems, flash fiction, collaborations, visual poetry, graphic fiction, literary fantasy, and excerpts from verse novellas or verse biographies.
We accept visual art submissions year-round. Book review submissions may be submitted in the fall. We publish once a year, usually at the end of December so we prefer reviews of new or forthcoming books that have been released no earlier than a year before the journal’s next publication date. Reviews of forthcoming publications are also acceptable. We prefer to publish reviews of books that could be characterized as literary.
The address for submissions is:
glintsubmissions at gmail.com
When submitting, you should identify the genre in your subject line. Prose poetry and flash fiction are usually considered with work that is identified as hybrid in nature unless otherwise requested by the contributor. Word documents are easier to work with during layout; however, if your poem or hybrid piece contains unusual lineation, you may also send a pdf file for me to consult if unusual coding is needed to satisfy your creative vision.
If you are submitting multiple items (poems, images, flash fiction), you can list multiple titles in the subject line, shortening the long ones in the subject line. Example: Willie Wordsworth “Tintern Abbey,” “Lucy Gray,” “Strange Fits,” “Fish-Women” Poetry.
Please do not submit more than six poems or 25 pages of prose at a time. Visual artists may submit up to six images, but they may also share links to their personal web pages if they want the editor to consider other options.
You may send submissions in more than one genre. However, you should not send multiple submission batches in a single genre before we have had time to respond to the first batch.
Glint accepts attachments in doc, docx, rtf, odt; jpg or png is preferred for visual submissions. However, multimedia creations are also welcomed (mp3s and video files), and we don’t mind simultaneous submissions so long as we’re notified if work is accepted elsewhere.
Any use of AI should be acknowledged in a cover letter as well as in a citation in MLA format. We also request that human collaborators provide a statement explaining how and why AI contributed to the submitted work. Since Glint encourages hybrid-genre creations, including collage poetry and found poetry, we are willing to consider AI’s potential in collaboration with synthographers and other human creatives.
Please direct submissions to:
Dr. Brenda Mann Hammack.
If you are sending a print publication for possible review, direct it to:
All rights will revert to the creators following publication, though we would like to be acknowledged should the work be reprinted at a later date.
We are willing to republish work that has appeared elsewhere, though we usually prefer that the original publication appeared in venues that do not receive wide circulation. For example, if your piece appeared in a student publication or in a print journal that may not be available to a global audience, we may be more likely to agree to reprint and provide credit to the original publication.
We do not receive funding; therefore, we only publish electronically and we can not afford to offer monetary payment. All editors serve on a voluntary basis.
