Milk Press Rolling Submissions

Overview
Milk Press situates itself at the intersection of poetry, visual art, and digital practice, treating disciplinary boundaries not as fixed limits but as productive sites of dissolution. Its curatorial commitment is to collaborative and multi-disciplinary work—projects that interrogate the terms of their own making across genres, rather than discrete, single-medium submissions. The press values dialogue between forms: text and image, page and screen, individual and collective authorship. This is an editorial vision that rewards work engaged with its own conditions of production and reception. Submissions are accepted on a rolling basis, but the editorial team convenes every two to three months to shape seasonal issues. This rhythm implies a considered, thematic approach to assembly rather than a continuous feed. Contributors can expect notification within ninety days. The press considers only previously unpublished work, a standard that aligns with its investment in presenting new material and its respect for the author's original context. There is a submission fee of $5.00 USD. The press does not specify a prize or location; its focus is on publication within its seasonal issues. The curatorial scope is explicitly inclusive of LGBTQ+, queer, BIPOC, and writers of color, indicating a deliberate attention to voices and perspectives historically marginalized in literary and art publishing. Artists and writers working across media—particularly those whose practice resists easy categorization—will find this call aligned with their concerns.
