We pay $10 to all authors accepted in our journals.
Deadline: June 30, 2026
About the Journal
Phylum Press’ quarterly journal accepts submissions of poetry, fiction, creative non-fiction, and visual art of any subject. While we love to receive works that relate to each ISSUE’s theme, we do not preference those submissions over others.
NOTE – We only accept visual art which relates to the ISSUE’s theme. This relation can be as loose as you’d like, but it has to exist.
Each year, Phylum will choose 4 different species from a phylum within the natural world. These four species will be the names and inspiration for each ISSUE we publish during that year.
Current Phylum: Magnoliophyta
Magnoliophyta includes all forms (flowering plants without a woody stem), grasses and grass-like plants, a vast majority of broad-leaved trees, shrubs and vines, and most aquatic plants.
Current ISSUE: Red Twig Dogwood
We’re looking for pieces that reflect the red twig dogwood; a plant that grows through winter, showing that even in the harshest of times, it can still beat the odds. We want pieces that reflect perseverance and strength!
Submissions are due June 30th.
Submission Rules
Fiction/Creative Non-Fiction: up to 5,000 words
Poetry: up to five pages
Visual Art: up to five pieces
Simultaneous submissions are allowed. Phylum Press is made up of writers just like you, and we know how hard submitting can be. That being said, please only submit your original, unpublished work, without ANY AI involvement.
How to Submit
Please email submissions to:
phylumpress@gmail.com
with: Your work attached as a PDF file.
“SUBMISSION – [Last name, Title]” as the subject line.
The category/genre of your piece.
A 100 word author bio.
Confirmation that the piece is your own work, and you will inform us if it is published elsewhere.
NOTE – If we think your work is not quite there, we may offer you a conditional acceptance and request some edits. It is your right as an author to determine whether or not you want to take our suggestions, but refusing may impact whether the piece is accepted for publication.
