Dark Matter: Women Witnessing is a response to the unprecedented changes humans are facing in an age of massive species loss and ecological collapse. The editors welcome writing in all forms and genres, and artwork in all mediums, responding to the urgencies of this time. The journal is a home for dreams, visions, and communications with the nonhuman world, especially those which contain messages for how we might begin to heal our broken relationship to the earth. It publishes self-identified women and nonbinary writers.
Application guidance
Before submitting, familiarize yourself with the journal's ethos: they seek work that witnesses—that is, writing and art that responds to the urgencies of our world with clarity, courage, and care. They are particularly interested in voices from women, non-binary, and marginalized perspectives. Submit polished work that aligns with their focus on ecology, spirituality, feminism, and social justice. Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but notify them immediately if your work is accepted elsewhere. They do not charge submission fees, but they also do not offer payment—this is a labor of love. Response times can be slow, so be patient. Include a brief cover letter that contextualizes your work within their mission.
Please review current and past issues to get a sense of the kind of work we publish. And read our submission guidelines for the forthcoming issue’s theme.
