Foglifter Journal is biannual compendium of the most dynamic, urgent queer and trans writing today. It’s a space where LGBTQ+ writers celebrate, mourn, rage, and embrace.
Foglifter welcomes daring and thoughtful work by queer and trans writers in all forms, and we are especially interested in cross-genre, intersectional, marginal, and transgressive work. We want the pieces that challenged you as a writer, what you poured yourself into and risked the most to make. But we also want your tenderest, gentlest work, what you hold closest to your heart. Whatever you're working on now that's keeping you alive and writing, Foglifter wants to read it.
Submission periods for our print issues are:
February 1 to April 1 (Fall Edition)
August 1 to October 1 (Spring Edition)
Submission Guidelines:
Title your submission with the title of the work(s) you are submitting (separated by commas).
Include a 50-word or less bio (with pronouns after your name, please!) in your cover letter. (If accepted, we will request an author photo; JPG or PNG files are best.)
We accept the following unpublished unsolicited submissions:
3 to 5 poems, one poem per page (max 5 pages)
up to 7500 words of fiction or nonfiction (up to three flash fiction pieces)
up to 20 pages of cross-genre work, text-image hybrids, or drama
All submissions must be uploaded as one DOC or DOCX file using the following titling convention: First_Last_Foglifter (i.e., Audre_Lorde_Foglifter)
We accept simultaneous submissions; however, please withdraw your piece immediately if it is accepted elsewhere (or, if you only need to withdraw part of a submission, send us a message in Submittable).
Only one submission per genre is permitted each reading period.
Please do not withdraw a piece and resubmit it with minor edits, changes to your cover letter, or adjustments to your file name. When you withdraw a piece, it does not withdraw from the submission cap and it takes space from other submitters. If your piece is selected, you will have the chance to make minor revisions later on.
We do not accept previously published material.
We welcome translated work in all genres, provided rights have been secured before submission. (Both author and translator will receive an honorarium.)
If we've recently accepted your work, please wait two reading periods (1 year) to submit again.
Contributors receive two copies of the issue in which they appear and a $100 honorarium (via PayPal)
Because of the high volume of submissions we receive in the following genres, we have submission caps:
POETRY is capped at 500 submissions.
FICTION is capped at 250 submissions.
