Submissions—We are reading!

Submissions are open August 15 – October 31

We typically have two reading periods a year, January to March and August to October. Our current reading period will run through October, wrapping up on All Hallow’s Eve.

We pay our contributors, and all of our selections come from the submissions queue. See our Submittable page for the latest guidelines and details, including submission fees.

For an idea of what we accept you can read our current issue here on the website. You also can download or purchase back issues, and listen to accepted work on our Soundcloud channel.

Critiques for fiction and nonfiction are always open!
