Alabaster Leaves Publishing — Submissions

Overview
Alabaster Leaves Publishing operates as a literary magazine with a continuous reading period, accepting submissions in fiction, poetry, and nonfiction. Unlike competitions with fixed deadlines, this rolling model allows writers to submit at any time, though it demands that each piece stand entirely on its own merits without the framing of a themed issue or contest. The magazine's editorial scope is defined by its three core genres, suggesting a catholic but disciplined approach to contemporary writing. Without public guidelines or a stated aesthetic, the onus falls on the writer to demonstrate command of craft, clarity of voice, and a seriousness of intent that aligns with a publishing house that values literary permanence over ephemeral trends. What the publication offers is the possibility of editorial engagement: a read, a response, and potentially a place in its pages. There is no prize, no fee structure disclosed, and no geographic limitation. The absence of these details is not a flaw but a condition of the call—it asks writers to submit for the work's sake, not for external reward.
