Submitting your work

Writers should submit polished, narrative-driven work that demonstrates a clear command of language and a strong emotional or thematic core. The editors appreciate stories and poems that are accessible without being simplistic, and they favor submissions that have been carefully proofread. Simultaneous submissions are generally accepted, but notify promptly if your work is placed elsewhere. Reading periods typically align with the academic calendar, so check the website for specific windows. Include a brief cover letter with your publication history, if any, and ensure your manuscript follows standard formatting guidelines.
