Call for Submissions: Allium: A Journal of Poetry and Prose

 

Fiction, Nonfiction, Poetry, and Multimedia submissions are now open through February 15, 2026.

Fiction, Nonfiction, and Poetry Submission Guidelines

Allium, A Journal of Poetry & Prose publishes three issues each year: two online issues (Fall and Summer) and one print issue (Spring).

Allium uses Submittable to manage our submissions. There is a $3.00 reading fee. 

Allium’s submission window opens November 14. We read work February through May. Accepted work will appear in one of three future issues: Fall Online 2026, Spring Print 2027, or Summer Online 2027. Placement will be at the editor’s discretion.

Allium accepts simultaneous submissions. If your work is accepted elsewhere, we ask that you notify us immediately. Previously published work (social media, blogs, personal websites) and AI-generated work will not be considered.

For POETRY, Allium requests a maximum five poems (up to seven total pages) with no more than one poem per page.

For PROSE (fiction, creative nonfiction, craft essay, hybrid), Allium requests a maximum of fifteen pages (3,750 words, double-spaced, 12-point Times New Roman font). Extra poems or pages will not be read.

Please do not submit more than once in each genre for each reading cycle.
