Slippery Elm

Submitting your work

Writers and artists should review the journal's guidelines carefully, noting that the Deanna Tulley Multimedia Prize has specific requirements for works combining text with visual, audio, or digital elements. General submissions are accepted year-round, but response times can be slow due to the volunteer editorial staff. Simultaneous submissions are typically permitted, but notify the editors promptly if your work is accepted elsewhere. Because Slippery Elm is affiliated with a university, it often has a preference for work that is accessible to a broad readership while still demonstrating craft and originality. Include a brief cover letter and ensure that multimedia files are submitted in the requested formats.
