Poems may be formatted uniquely, but please use standard fonts (Times New Roman, Arial, Calibri, Garamond).

Please include a 2-3 sentence, third-person bio/cover letter explaining who you are and a hook introducing your piece (including word count). This bio will be used in the magazine after your piece.

Note the corresponding genre for your piece as well.

While there is no minimum length (flash fiction is encouraged!) please do not send pieces over 5,000 words.

Send up to 3 poems in one document, and only one fiction piece per submission.

If you have a digital art piece or a graphic narrative that is also genre focused, such as fantasy, sci-fi, or horror, please send it as a .jpeg or high resolution pdf.

We would love to have cover art for overall collections and individual prose and poetry pieces. Please include your preferred name, email, and/or social media tags to be included alongside the art.
