Pen + Brush is a 130-year-old nonprofit organization with a dual mission: to support the professional advancement of women and nonbinary artists and writers, and to challenge the gender inequities that persist in the art world. Its literary arm extends this mandate to the page, seeking fiction, poetry, and nonfiction that demonstrate formal ambition and intellectual rigor. While the organization is perhaps best known for its visual arts programming, its publishing initiatives are integral to its broader curatorial vision—one that treats writing as a vital component of contemporary creative practice. Submissions are accepted on a rolling basis, allowing writers to submit when their work is ready rather than according to an external calendar. There is no fee indicated, and no prize is associated with publication; instead, the reward is inclusion in a respected platform with a longstanding commitment to marginalized voices. Pen + Brush does not position itself as a commercial magazine but as a cultural institution, and its editorial selections reflect the same critical standards applied to its exhibitions. The curatorial approach favors work that is aesthetically distinctive and socially engaged, without demanding a particular political orthodoxy. Writers should consider how their submissions might converse with Pen + Brush's legacy of amplifying underrepresented perspectives—not as a box to check, but as an invitation to contribute to a continuing dialogue. The rolling deadline means that submissions are reviewed as they arrive, and writers are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the organization's history and current programming before submitting.
