Call for Submissions: Defuncted

Defuncted is a home for poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction that has been previously published but was abandoned when the journals that published them shut down but did not archive the work.

Submission periods are as follows:
April 15-May 15, August 15-Sept 15, December 15-January 15

NOTE: These are fluid submission windows. We may, without notice, close to submissions BEFORE the stated closing date.

OUR SUBMISSION GUIDELINES HAVE CHANGED SINCE LAST READING PERIOD, PLEASE READ CAREFULLY! IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW GUIDELINES YOUR SUBMISSION WILL BE REJECTED.

If you have your own abandoned work and would like us to give it a new home, please email:

defunctedjournal@gmail.com

Please indicate in the subject line the type of submission, e.g., submission — poetry or submission — fiction or submission — cnf (CNF=creative nonfiction). We do not publish novel excerpts, please do not send those.

Submit up to three pieces or up to 3,000 words. If you have something that’s longer than that and you think it really belongs here, please email with the word count and we will consider.
