Submissions are OPEN

Submitting to The Wild Umbrella means sending your stories, essays, poems, and now cover art (for our print edition) to a team of thoughtful readers and editors who'll take time and care to polish, publish, and energetically promote your work. Submissions are free, and contributors will be paid €10 per poem and €25 per story or essay, and €50 for accepted cover art submissions.

Fiction

Our fiction team looks forward to reading any and all genres of interesting, genuine, and thought-provoking work; independent stories and stand-alone excerpts from long pieces are welcome, with submissions accepted up to 4,000 words.

Poetry

1-5 poems of any length; our multidisciplinary poetry team looks forward to reading any genre, structure, topic, or concept that you have to offer. The team is currently enjoying collections by Seán Hewitt, Victoria Kennefick, June Jordan, and Carl Phillips, among plenty of others.

Non-Fiction

Submit anything less than 4,000 words. Our non-fiction team enjoys reading a wide array of work, including nature, travel, food, sport, and topical/satirical essays (we like humor with an edge).

Cover Art

For our yearly print anthology, we're looking for submissions of photography or art that would make a vivid and visceral front cover. Ideally, submitted pieces would be able to be fit into an A5-sized page, but we will consider all types and sizes of art and photography.

Submit your work here.
