We are looking for complex stories, poems, and essays. Our focus is literary work. We love unexpected poetic language and a bit of magic realism. We are seeking work that features well-rounded female characters. We welcome all authors and their words with one caveat — if you can sum up your female characters in one line (or worse yet: one word), our publication is probably not for you.
For quarterly publications, we are looking for work that is 1500 words or less. There is no minimum word count.
We are looking for previously unpublished work but have made exceptions. Please reach out to discuss if you have a previously published work that you think might be a good fit.
We are a small magazine with volunteer readers, yet we are committed to compensating writers for their work. We pay authors $15 per published piece in the quarterly journal. This in no way reflects the value of the author’s work but merely the amount we are able to pay from submission fees.
Please submit your work in a single document. Work should be previously unpublished. Simultaneous submissions are welcomed but please let us know if your work is accepted elsewhere.
Fiction and Nonfiction: Maximum word count is 1500 words. Please include the word count and title in your document.
Poetry: Please submit one to three poems in a single document. If special formatting is required, please send it as a pdf. Please note, that we may not be able to reproduce special formatting on the web and mobile versions of your poem but will attach a PDF.
Thank you for sharing your words with us.
