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
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.
