Oregon Humanities — Submissions

Overview
Oregon Humanities, a longstanding institution dedicated to public scholarship and cultural inquiry, publishes a magazine that engages with the complexities of place, identity, and civic life. The magazine serves as a platform for writers whose work illuminates the human condition through a lens that is both locally grounded and universally resonant. Submissions are open to fiction, poetry, and nonfiction, reflecting a commitment to diverse literary forms and voices. The magazine's editorial vision prioritizes work that is intellectually rigorous, emotionally honest, and formally accomplished. While the organization is rooted in Oregon, the magazine's scope extends beyond regional boundaries, welcoming submissions that explore themes of relevance to a broad readership. Contributors can expect to be part of a conversation that values depth over trend, and substance over spectacle. For writers, this call represents an opportunity to place work with a publication that respects the integrity of the creative process. The absence of a submission fee, where applicable, underscores the magazine's dedication to accessibility. The editorial team seeks writing that challenges, informs, and moves readers, and they approach each submission with careful attention.
