Before submitting, familiarize yourself with the magazine's aesthetic by reading recent issues. They favor work that demonstrates a clear voice and emotional resonance, whether in poetry, fiction, or visual art. Simultaneously, they appreciate risk-taking that feels intentional rather than gratuitous.

Simultaneous submissions are generally accepted, but notify promptly if your work is placed elsewhere.
