The press has a history of publishing work that is both formally adventurous and emotionally resonant, often bridging the gap between traditional and experimental aesthetics. This call represents an opportunity for writers to place their work in a journal known for its discerning editorial eye and commitment to literary excellence. The magazine seeks fiction, poetry, and nonfiction that demonstrate a mastery of language and a willingness to take risks.

The editorial team looks for voices that are original and urgent, whether emerging or established. Writers selected for publication will join a roster of contributors that includes both emerging talents and established figures. While the exact terms of publication are not specified, Diode Editions is known for its careful curation and production values, ensuring that accepted work is presented with respect and attention.
