true positions itself as a venue for writing about the craft of nonfiction in its many forms, extending its purview beyond the written word to video documentary, photography, and podcasts. The magazine's editorial interest lies in the mechanics of making: technique, experimentation, research, language, and ethics, as well as the complications that attend any sustained writing practice. It invites both pitches and completed pieces, and imposes no fixed word limits, suggesting an editorial stance that privileges rigor and fit over arbitrary constraints. The submission is free of charge, and the magazine considers only unpublished work. It explicitly excludes academic papers, signaling a preference for criticism and craft analysis written for a general literary readership rather than a scholarly one. The stated ideal is thoroughly researched writing that presents craft analysis in an expressive way without forfeiting author credibility, and the editors note an appreciation for writers who take a personal perspective on craft. Submitters are asked to include a bio or about section, along with previous publications, awards, or applicable social media, the latter optional but recommended. The deadline for this call is November 1, 2026. No prize, fee, or location is specified in the listing.
