Deep South Magazine occupies a distinct place in contemporary letters as a journal attentive to the literature and culture of the American South. Its pages are open to writers working in fiction, poetry, and nonfiction, and the magazine maintains a general submission window rather than a themed contest. This call is for unsolicited work across those three genres, with no entry fee indicated in the available information. For the writer, the opportunity is a standard literary magazine submission: the chance to have work considered for publication in a periodical with an established readership. There is no prize, residency, or exhibition attached. What the magazine offers is editorial review and, for accepted pieces, publication. The absence of a fee is notable in a landscape where many journals charge for submissions, though the guidelines do not specify whether a fee applies. The curatorial vision, as far as it can be inferred from the magazine's remit, centers on writing that engages with the South—its landscapes, histories, and voices—without reducing the region to caricature. The editors appear to seek work that is formally accomplished and emotionally resonant, whether it arrives as a short story, a suite of poems, or a personal essay. Writers should consult the magazine's published issues to gauge tone and scope before submitting.
