Submission Guidelines
WE ARE CURRENTLY OPEN FOR SUBMISSIONS UNTIL DECEMBER 10.
We aim to respond to all submissions within 72 hours. You may query your submission after 5 days.
Each issue, one piece will be selected to receive a $20 monetary award, regardless of genre.
Simultaneous submissions are welcome. We prefer to be the first publisher, but love a good previously published piece every now and then. If your piece is previously published, please let us know where so we can credit the original publication.
Submit only once per category per quarterly submissions cycle. You may submit in more than one category.
❋ Poetry (including prose poems)—
Up to 3 poems on a single document, with titles in bold. The document should be no more than 6 pages long.
Preferably submitted as a Google Document, but a PDF is allowed only if necessary to preserve the form of a piece.
12-pt Times New Roman 1.5 spacing is our standard, preferred font, but we understand that variations may be used to best reflect the author’s intent.
Up to 2 prose pieces (short story, micro fiction, creative nonfiction, plays, essay, excerpt, etc) on a single Google or Word Document (.doc or .docx). Please do not send us a PDF—it really makes things easier for us. 12-pt Times New Roman 1.15 or 1.5 spacing is required.
There is a word-count limit of 2,000 words per piece, but we do prefer shorter, punchier pieces!
