Founded with the explicit purpose of publishing new and upcoming writers with no submission fees, Hearth & Coffin places priority on provocative, exploratory, and accessible works that thrill and open the minds of readers.

There is no magic formula to being published in Hearth & Coffin. No amount of pedigree will guarantee a spot. Good writing is good writing, regardless of your degree(s) or lack thereof, your previous publications, your skin color, gender, or age.

Each Hearth & Coffin volume has a theme. Some themes are by the Hearth & Coffin staff and others are submitted by readers. The community is encouraged to follow Hearth & Coffin on social media for the opportunity to pitch upcoming themes and to keep abreast of upcoming volumes, open submissions, and other goodies.

Happy writing, friends.
