We are seeking submissions that grab us and convey a unique perspective and honest insight into our world. We are especially interested in underrepresented voices of all kinds, and we want to see submissions from writers and artists of all races, sexualities, nationalities, religions, and genders, as well as disabled and neurodivergent creators. 

Genre fiction submissions are welcome, particularly speculative fiction.

General Submissions are $3.00, with no-fee submission periods during certain weeks in the year, and are closed in December. (Note: Check our schedule online.)

Feedback submissions are on hiatus for a while, we will announce when they reopen.

Visual Art submissions remain open all year-round.

***IMPORTANT***
We will not read work that contains racist, sexist, misogynistic, queer/homophobic, transphobic, or ableist language or content, and fees will not be refunded.

General Guidelines:

  • All written submissions should be saved in.docx or .doc format with contact information and the work’s title and word count in the document.
  • We are all writers and artists, so simultaneous submissions are encouraged, but please let us know immediately if it has been accepted elsewhere.
  • Previously published work will not be considered, and this includes work published on social media and personal websites. If it is available publicly online it has been published. You will be asked to certify this on your submission. Work found to have been previously published will be declined and no fees will be refunded.
  • Please submit to only one written category, and please wait two months from your response to send us more written work.
  • Visual arts submissions may be made along with written submissions, with a one-month waiting period for more visual art after a response is received.
  • We do not accept work that has been created in any way with AI, and you will be required to certify as such on the submission form. Work found to have used AI will be declined and no fees will be refunded.

Prose Submissions: Regular Submissions: There is no strict word count, although we most frequently publish fiction and nonfiction between 500-5,000 words. For regular submissions we accept up to three prose submissions per author as long as the total number of words is less than 7,500. All genres and subjects are welcomed and encouraged.
