Call for Submissions: Haymaker

Haymaker was founded as a magazine to reflect our small, Midwestern college town, surrounded by farms and nature, unique among its bigger Rust Belt neighbors. We are interested in thought provoking work, grounded in that natural world. We believe the quotidian, daily world to be consequential and essential to human experiences. While these environs may sound like traditional Americana, work that expresses them need not be. We intend Haymaker to be a space for formal experimentation to exist alongside new work in traditional modes.

We are open to submissions in 2024 from January through March. Please submit no more than once per genre category per reading period.

Simultaneous submissions are accepted and encouraged; please let us know promptly if your work is picked up elsewhere.

Please submit work itself without any identifying information or contact information in heading or footing. Include a maximum 100 word bio on the submission form.

If you feel your work defies traditional genre categorization, please choose the category that it most resembles and note how you would better describe it in your cover letter. 

Please submit all work in .docx format. See our specific genre guidelines.

Unfortunately, we are not a paying publication at this time. We offer three copies of the magazine to all contributors.

All rights revert to the author upon publication. We appreciate your online shoutouts and acknowledgments if work that originally appeared here is included in any full-length publications, chapbooks, or dissertations/theses.
