Big Table Publishing Company — Submissions

Overview
Big Table Publishing Company operates as an independent literary press and magazine, sustaining a tradition of publishing work that values craft and voice over market trends. Its rolling submissions policy reflects an institutional commitment to accessibility, allowing writers to submit when their work is ready rather than according to an external calendar. This open-ended structure suggests a curatorial approach that prioritizes the integrity of the individual manuscript over thematic or seasonal constraints. For the submitting writer, the absence of a deadline is both an invitation and a demand: the work must stand on its own, without the urgency of a closing date to compel attention. The press does not disclose submission fees or prize offerings in the provided information, and no specific location or institutional affiliation is listed. What remains is the essential exchange—a manuscript offered to editors who have chosen to keep the door open year-round. The curatorial vision, insofar as it can be inferred from the genres sought, is pluralistic: fiction, poetry, and nonfiction are considered alongside one another, suggesting an editorial sensibility that resists hierarchy among forms. Writers should understand that a rolling call places a premium on patience and professionalism; the absence of a deadline does not imply a lack of rigor, but rather a different rhythm of evaluation.
