About the magazine

Sunday Morning Magazine is an online literary and arts publication founded on the ethos of unhurried attention. It takes its name from the quiet, reflective hours of the week's end, positioning itself as a counterpoint to the rapid churn of digital media. The magazine publishes poetry, short fiction, and visual art that reward patience and close reading, with a curatorial eye for work that is formally considered yet emotionally immediate. Its mission is to provide a serene, thoughtfully edited space where emerging and established voices can coexist without the pressures of trend cycles or algorithmic visibility.

Submitting your work

Reading periodOpen now

Read several recent issues before submitting to understand the magazine's tonal range, which favors restraint, clarity, and emotional precision over experimental pyrotechnics. Simultaneous submissions are generally acceptable, but notify promptly upon acceptance elsewhere. Include a brief, unadorned cover letter and a short bio; avoid lengthy lists of prior publications. Visual artists should send low-resolution JPEGs or a link to a focused portfolio, not a sprawling website. Response times can be slow—often several months—so plan accordingly and do not query before the stated reading period ends.
