Okay Donkey

Submitting your work

Okay Donkey accepts submissions of poetry, flash fiction, and hybrid work year-round, with occasional expedited reading periods. Writers should familiarize themselves with the magazine's aesthetic by reading recent issues online; the editors favor work that is concise, emotionally resonant, and willing to take risks with language or structure. Submissions should be sent via the magazine's website, following the specific guidelines for each genre. Simultaneous submissions are permitted, but please notify the editors promptly if your work is accepted elsewhere. Response times are typically fast, often within a week, and the editors appreciate a brief, professional cover letter. There are no fees for general submissions, though expedited options may involve a small charge.
