Additional info

Please submit one (1) story in Fiction OR Creative Non-Fiction OR up to 5 poems per reading period. please do not submit a second time before we respond to the first submission, as the second submission will be disregarded. In recognition of variation in self-expression, there are no rules in terms of form or function, except that the piece fits into the genres of fiction, poetry, creative non-fiction, or comics. All submissions must be Jewish in nature. Although the concept of “Jewish” is a broad and vague one. Leaving this concept/term undefined will allow for the largest breadth of material to qualify for publication.
