Submissions of poetry, fiction, and nonfiction are accepted from September 1-31 January. We select poems up to 100 lines in length and fiction up to 5,000 words. You may mail up to five poems and/or one story per submission. Please do not send additional work before you hear back from us.
Simultaneous submissions of either genre are accepted, but we ask that you identify them as such and inform us if your work is accepted elsewhere.
Please include a self-addressed, stamped envelope for reply only, as we recycle manuscripts. A cover letter is preferred. Alternatively, feel free to send us work via Submittable:
