Cover letter
Keep it brief! We know this part can be stressful, so we don't want to put a lot of pressure on it. Our author bios can be up to 100 words long, and generally contain a brief overview of your identity as a writer. We like clever quips, but we also like getting to the point.
Eligibility
We publish work from all voices, but especially love to make room for marginalized and unpublished voices.Formatting
Format your document into .doc or .docx
Author's rights
All rights return to the author upon publication. We ask that if your piece is re-published elsewhere, you credit The Turning Leaf Journal for first publication.
