Writers should familiarize themselves with the magazine's aesthetic by reading recent issues. Submissions are accepted via the online manager, with guidelines specifying genres and word limits. Simultaneous submissions are permitted with prompt notification of acceptance elsewhere. Response times vary, so patience is advised. The editors value originality, strong voice, and a sense of place, but avoid clichéd or overly familiar Southern tropes.
