Our guidelines (please read)

Submissions are currently closed and will reopen once the 2027 open reading commences.

Poetry: Up to five (5) pieces, no more than 10 pages in length.

Prose: Up to 4,000 words

Formatting:

We ask that you format with a Serif font (or something like that), 12pt. Please submit only .doc/.docx.

Include a cover letter, your name and email, and a small biography on the first page of your submission document*. The letter may be in depth or just a simple ‘Hi, I’m submitting this.’

While our taste buds often lean strange, obscure, absurdist, or esoteric, we do value quality. Know the rules you are breaking before you break them. Please see our archives for a more in depth look into the type of writing we publish. While we enjoy the occasional fiction piece, we don’t typically publish genre fiction.

*If your email is not at the top of the document, you will likely never hear back from us, as our submission pool is too large to track down individual emails.

Here is a template that roughly displays what we look for.

Other stuff:

We focus on queer, trans, POC, and woman identifying writers, but accept work from all genders and identities.

We are not currently a paying market.

We no longer offer expedited responses and feedback. We apologize.

Works should be primarily in English. Please provide translation if you have a few phrases in another language.
