Non Fiction Submissions

We are looking for essays about the gap between the self you present and the self you actually are, and what it takes to maintain that gap, year after year. The marriage that looks fine. The faith you perform. The professional identity you’ve outgrown. The sexuality you haven’t named out loud. The political position you hold in public that you no longer believe in private.
Double lives. Passing. The exhaustion of performing a version of yourself that was built for someone else’s comfort.
We’re not asking you to stop. Just to write about it honestly.
800-2,500 words.
