We will open for for submissions for print issue 78 and our spring 2026 web issue from November 1-30, 2025. Our translation and art submissions remain open year-round.
Our call for submissions for issue 78 is unthemed.
The theme for our spring web issue is “aftercare.” Aftercare turns its attention to what comes after intensity, crisis, or rupture, those moments when care, attention, and repair are needed most. Borrowing its name from the language of kink, the folio asks what it means to stay, to tend, to rebuild. We gather work that lingers in aftermath: the slow recalibration of breath, the tenderness of rebandaging a wound, the exhaustion and beauty of maintenance. Go to our Submittable page on November 1st for more details!
General Notes on Submission:
- For our PRINT issues: Please send one submission per genre at a time, and wait for a response before you submit additional work. If you submit more than one submission, we will not read the second one. Please double-check that you are submitting in the correct genre. Work submitted in the incorrect genre will be declined.
- For our WEB issues: please send one submission at a time, and wait for a response before you submit additional work. If you submit more than one submission, we will not read the second one.
