Fiction
We welcome stories of all kinds, whether they be realistic, surreal, whimsical or practical. Our editors love experimental writing as well as stories of social significance. Please submit one piece per entry of up to 3,000 words.
Creative Nonfiction
We welcome all forms of creative nonfiction, ranging from immersion reporting, to personal narratives or memoirs. Our editors enjoy reading non-fiction that contains some form of a narrative, but also enjoy work that breaks out of this characterization.
Poetry
We are interested in original and interesting poetry, from writers who we believe have a passion in poetry and will continue to produce poetry. We accept poetry in all forms, so be creative!
