About the magazine

Posit is a literary and arts journal founded on the belief that rigorous, thoughtful work can also be accessible. Since its inception, it has provided a platform for poetry, fiction, essays, and visual art that engage with the complexities of contemporary life without resorting to obscurity or cliché. The journal’s ethos is rooted in editorial care: each piece is selected not for its adherence to trend but for its distinct voice and craft. Posit operates as a space where emerging and established artists converse, fostering a community that values precision, emotional honesty, and intellectual curiosity.

Editorial focus

Posit publishes carefully curated, finely crafted contemporary poetry, very short fiction, hybrid literary forms, and visual art. It is looking for innovation, aesthetic vision, thoughtfulness, depth, and accomplished craftsmanship. The editors’ tastes are broad, with an interest in the experimental.

Submitting your work

Reading periodOct 1 to Dec 1
Reading feeNo
PaymentNo payment
Response timeLess than 3 months
Simultaneous submissionsYes
Unsolicited submissionsYes

Before submitting, read several recent issues to understand the journal’s range and standards. Posit favors work that is polished yet alive, avoiding both academic dryness and gratuitous shock. Follow submission guidelines precisely: include a brief cover letter, a short bio, and adhere to genre-specific word limits. Simultaneous submissions are typically accepted, but notify promptly if your work is placed elsewhere. Expect a response time of several months; patience is part of the process. Most importantly, trust your voice—Posit seeks work that feels necessary, not merely competent.

Out of consideration for our all-volunteer editorial staff, please read our journal before submitting your work. All past and current issues are available 24/7, paywall- and advertising-free.
