true — Submissions

Overview
true operates as a literary magazine with an ongoing, rolling submission policy. The publication accepts work in fiction, poetry, and nonfiction, positioning itself within the broader tradition of independent literary journals that prioritize the written word over thematic or regional constraints. Because the submission window is continuous, there is no external deadline pressure; the editorial calendar is shaped by the volume and quality of work received rather than by a fixed reading period. The magazine's scope is defined by its three core genres. Fiction, poetry, and nonfiction are considered, suggesting a catholic editorial sensibility that does not privilege a single form. No fee is listed in the available information, and no prize, location, or institutional affiliation is specified. This absence of ancillary detail places the emphasis squarely on the writing itself and on the editorial judgment of the magazine's readers. For the submitting writer, true represents a venue where the work must stand on its own. There is no stated theme, no competition structure, and no geographic or career-stage restriction. The rolling deadline means that submissions are evaluated as they arrive, which can favor writers who are prepared to submit polished work at any time rather than those who wait for a formal call. The curatorial vision, insofar as it can be inferred from the public record, is one of openness to strong writing across the three genres, without the framing devices of prizes or special issues.
