Flyway Journal of Writing & Environment

Submitting your work

Flyway welcomes submissions of poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and hybrid work that explore environmental themes. They accept simultaneous submissions but require immediate notification if work is accepted elsewhere. Reading periods vary, so check the website for current guidelines. Submit up to five poems or one prose piece (up to 5,000 words) through their online submission manager. Include a brief cover letter with your contact information and a short bio. They value work that demonstrates a strong sense of craft, originality, and a meaningful engagement with the environment. Response times typically range from one to three months. Payment is in copies and a one-year subscription.

Please send us work that deals with the “environment” in unique and surprising ways. Flyway publishes on a rolling schedule. Work may be at home in Flyway if it occurs at the intersection of human experience and broad interpretations of environment: Ecology, science, natural history, and the environmental imagination, place, from natural to built, and ways that people interact with their environments.
