Expect the response time for Spring 2022 submissions (both prose and poetry) to be near the end of May/early June.

 

We accept written pieces in .doc files. Please put your cover letter on a single page before your pieces. In your cover letter, please tell us if your pieces are simultaneous submissions and anything you'd like to share about yourself (you can put a lot or very little, whichever you prefer).

 

If your piece is accepted elsewhere, please let us know as soon as possible, and also, congratulations!

• Through your submission and acceptance, you agree to grant us First North American Serial Rights for the accepted piece. After publication, the rights revert back to you.

• Submitting in multiple genres is great, please tell us you’re doing this within your cover letter.
