Polyphony Lit

Submitting your work

Polyphony Lit accepts submissions from high school students only. Work should be original, polished, and demonstrate a genuine engagement with craft. The editors appreciate writing that takes risks and shows a distinct perspective, but they also value clarity and emotional resonance. Before submitting, read past issues to understand the magazine's aesthetic range. For contests, follow theme prompts closely and adhere to word limits. Simultaneous submissions are generally accepted, but notify promptly if your work is placed elsewhere. Expect thoughtful feedback if you request it, and remember that the editors are your peers—treat the process as a dialogue, not a verdict.
