Post Road is a literary magazine that has long served as a vital venue for both emerging and established voices. While the organization behind it remains unnamed in this call, the magazine's history suggests a commitment to work that is formally ambitious and emotionally resonant. The editors seek fiction, poetry, and nonfiction that demonstrate a mastery of language and a willingness to take risks. This is not a venue for the timid or the derivative; it is a space where the literary arts are taken seriously and where the editor's discerning eye is paramount. The magazine's purview is broad, encompassing the full spectrum of literary expression. In fiction, the editors look for narratives that surprise and unsettle, that push against the conventions of plot and character. In poetry, they seek work that is attentive to the music of language and the weight of image. In nonfiction, they are interested in essays that blend reportage with reflection, that illuminate the world through a personal lens without sacrificing intellectual rigor. The common thread is a commitment to excellence and a belief in the power of the written word. What artists receive is the opportunity to be published in a magazine that is respected by readers and writers alike. There is no monetary prize, but the reward is in the company one keeps—alongside writers who have shaped the contemporary literary landscape. The curatorial vision is one of inclusivity and high standards, where the only criterion is the quality of the work. The deadline of February 1, 2027, provides ample time for writers to refine their submissions and present their best work.
