Metonym Journal

Submitting your work

Before submitting, familiarize yourself with recent issues to understand the journal's aesthetic and thematic interests. Metonym favors work that blurs genre boundaries, particularly creative nonfiction that incorporates poetic or visual elements. While they accept simultaneous submissions, notify them promptly if your work is accepted elsewhere. Response times vary, but generally range from one to three months. Include a brief cover letter that contextualizes your submission, and ensure your piece aligns with the current call if one is specified. They appreciate concise, well-crafted work that demonstrates attention to language and structure.
