Additional info
We publish work by established and emerging writers unaffiliated with the University of Central Arkansas. All our writers’ work is considered for $50 Editors’ Choice Awards in each genre. Limit 1 submission per genre until you’ve received a response. While we accept submissions year-round, please note that our graduate students read during the school year, so you will experience longer response times over the summer. We are especially interested in work that explores the identities and experiences of writers from the Delta region, BIPOC, immigrant, LGBTQ+, women, disabled, and neurodivergent writers, the resource-poor, writers over 50, those who have experienced or been impacted by incarceration, or anyone whose voices have traditionally been silenced.
