How to submit

• Process

  Submittable

• Cover letter

  Include a brief cover letter with your submission. For online submissions, this should be included in the cover letter field, not part of the file with the work. In your letter, please include: The title(s) of the piece(s) you are sending, A word count (for prose), Your contact information, A brief bio, if you like, and Notice, if applicable, of simultaneous submission. We strive to maintain a balance between work from writers new to the magazine and those whose work we have loved and published in the past. If you’re a past contributor to Ecotone, please mention it in your cover letter, and check the appropriate box if sending via Submittable. Please wait two years (four issues) after publication before sending new work. If you’ve never before published any work in the genre in which you're submitting, please let us know that as well.
