Thin Places Literary Journal Thin Places: A Literary Journal Gold Star Program Gold Star

Thin Places invites submissions of new, unpublished writing which explores the intersection of place, space and the sacred. While this might usually involve geographical places, other interpretations of the theme are also welcome. We're currently reading for Issue Three.

Please submit up to three poems of any length, or one piece of fiction or creative nonfiction of up to 2000 words. Simultaneous submissions are welcome – please inform us if a piece is accepted elsewhere and you wish to withdraw it.

Submissions should be accompanied by a short biographical note. If you would like to submit an original image or photograph with your submission you are welcome to do so, in the body of the Word document.

All rights remain with the original poets and authors. Currently, the journal will publish an edition bi-monthly available online here at Thin Places. The third issue will be published in September 2026.

We are sorry not to offer payment currently. We hope to revisit this in the future, funds permitting.
