Side by side submissions should be submitted together in one file and be submitted to the call for the youngest writer in the collaboration. Each issue is themed and writers should submit their poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and art/photography. While we aren’t aiming for a clean stylistic aesthetic, we are looking for writing that approaches the subject with honesty, vulnerability, and clarity of voice. We want work that is brave. Generation Gap seeks submissions for its first print publication in Winter 2026. Online publication to follow and all work published in print will be considered for online editions. Generation Gap is based in the Pacific Northwest, but we accept writing from around the world. The driving question for our first issue is: Why worry? The submission deadline is September 30, 2026.
