We’re excited to read your writing! Please read our submission guidelines before submitting.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Work grounded in specific, concrete imagery: pieces that show rather than tell, bringing the reader into a particular moment through vivid, tangible detail.
  • Poetry, Short Fiction, or Short Non-Fiction (1,500 words max)
  • No simultaneous submissions.
  • Absolutely no AI-generated content.

Each accepted piece is featured in our newsletter and across our platforms. We publish one piece per email to give your work the spotlight it deserves.
