Submitting your work

Before submitting, read at least one recent issue to understand the magazine's range—it is broad, but consistently drawn to work that feels necessary rather than merely competent. For the general submission call (e.g., Fall 2026, Issue 56), send up to five poems or one prose piece under 5,000 words, along with a brief cover letter that situates your work without overselling it. Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but notify promptly if accepted elsewhere. Response times vary; a gentle query after three months is appropriate. The editors value clarity and concision in correspondence as much as in the work itself.
