inScribe Journal of Creative Writing

About

inScribe journal exists to share and inspire meaningful encounters with the world through the diverse art of creative writing. The journal serves as a forum for inspired writers from all over, while also showcasing the work of students from Tabor’s Creative Writing and Communication program. In particular, inScribe offers a voice to writers whose work is informed variously by religious faith; belief in objective truth, goodness and beauty; a sense of the sacred in the ordinary; and the perception of life (in all its rich and even unsettling detail) as gift. Such writing may be highbrow or humorous, literary or lighthearted, sober or satirical, down to earth or out of this world entirely!

The editors may not respond to all submissions. After waiting a reasonable amount of time, assume your submission will not be accepted.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
