We're currently open to submissions of fiction, creative nonfiction, and art for our first issue, which will be released online in November of 2019. If you're a poet, you might be interested in our chapbook contest. Submissions for our first issue will close on August 15.

We only accept submissions through our Submittable page. Submissions made through email will not be read.

We aim to respond to all submissions within 3 to 4 months, but ask that you hold off on queries until 6 months have passed.
