Additional info
Our emphasis is on amplifying the diverse voices and creativity of the Appalachian region, and we are committed to publishing excellent writing that does not rely on clichés and stereotypes. We want to feature writing that exemplifies the many layers and complexities of the region. We especially encourage submissions from historically underrepresented voices - BIPOC, members of the LGBTQIA community and persons of all abilities. Please submit only in one genre and only once during this reading period. If you have been published in Still before, please wait until one year has passed from that publication date before sending us work again. We nominate work regularly to annual prizes, and we will help advertise your work on social media. Our contributors have been featured in the Best of the Net and in The Best Small Fictions anthologies.
