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We are looking for previously unpublished work but have made exceptions.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.
