Orion: Nature and Culture

Submitting your work

Writers should familiarize themselves with Orion's aesthetic and thematic range by reading recent issues. The magazine seeks work that is lyrical, deeply observed, and often blends personal narrative with broader ecological or social concerns. Avoid didacticism or clichéd nature writing; instead, aim for fresh perspectives and nuanced language. For workshops, such as the Fall Online Environmental Writers' Workshop, applicants should demonstrate a serious commitment to craft and a willingness to engage in constructive critique. Submission guidelines are detailed on the website, and adherence to them is expected. Response times can be lengthy, so patience is advised.

Please familiarize yourself with Orion by reading through a few issues of the magazine before submitting.
