Additional info

We accept work from both emerging and established writers and artists, and from folks of any and all ethnic, religious, and cultural backgrounds. However, we do prioritize work from artists who come from underrepresented communities. Previously published. We accept unpublished work only. We do accept work that has been published personally, such as on a personal blog or website, or personal social media account. We do not consider those pieces to be “previously published.” However, works published elsewhere, such as through a different literary magazine, or any other third party publisher, would qualify as a previously published piece. You may submit once per genre, per issue. The theme of each issue will be announced at the opening of the respective submissions window.
