Hobart is a longstanding independent literary magazine known for publishing writing that leans toward the offbeat, the formally restless, and the emotionally honest. Its general submissions remain open year-round, offering writers a rare continuous window rather than a contest-driven deadline. The magazine has built a reputation for work that might be described as post-ironic, tender without being sentimental, and willing to take risks with voice and structure. While the call does not specify a reading period or fee, the absence of a deadline should not be mistaken for a lack of rigor. Hobart's editors have historically favored short-form fiction and nonfiction that feels urgent, strange, and alive. The submission process is straightforward: send your work via email with the title and genre in the subject line. There is no indication of payment or prize, so writers should approach this as a venue for exposure and editorial collaboration rather than financial reward. For the discerning writer, Hobart represents a chance to place work in a magazine with a distinct curatorial identity. The lack of a fee, if confirmed, lowers barriers, but the competition remains keen. The best submissions will demonstrate an understanding of Hobart's aesthetic: writing that is unpretentious, surprising, and deeply human.
