We are looking for fiction, creative non-fiction, and poetry. We also welcome pitches for columns (monthly or quarterly), interviews, book reviews, and other literary adjacent projects. Of particular interest are hybrid and cross-genre works that straddle the lines of classification. Send us your un-seamly literature.


Some specifics:

  • Simultaneous submissions are fine, but please let us know in your cover letter. We appreciate timely notification if a piece under consideration has been accepted elsewhere. 
  • We will be glad to look at previously published work (reprints) as long as: 
  1. You have the rights,
  2. It has been at least 24 months since published online or three months if published in a small print-only run, and; 
  3.  You provide the prior publication credit at submission.


  • Poetry: 3-5 poems
  • Fiction: up to 5K words
  • CNF: up to 5K words
  • Please limit submissions to two per category until we’ve replied.
  • Flash fiction is welcome and you may send 3-5 flash pieces (up to 5K words) in a single document.
  • Pitches: For periodic features or one-off interviews, reviews, etc., please use the pitch submission option. Explain your idea, intended frequency, and your intended audience. Pitch submissions are free.
  • Artwork submissions are free. Your pocket artwork is especially welcome. All images must be sized as 1080 pixels by 1080 pixels and submitted as a jpeg. Please use the Pitch Pockets submission category.
  • Submissions fees for literary works are $3 and is used for artist payments and administrative costs (Submittable, website, etc.). We hold fee-free periods for the last two weeks of every February and August, to ensure cost is not a barrier for any writer.
  • All rights remain with the author before, during, and after publication. We request non-exclusive permission to feature your work on our site, our social media channels, archives, and special projects (anthologies, collections, etc).
  • If published, we pay $10 per issue (including artwork). We understand this is nowhere near what writers/artists deserve, and we will raise rates as soon as we are able.
