About

The Binnacle is UMM's Literary & Arts Journal. For over fifty years we have published the works of literature and art of our students as well as writers and artists from around the world. All production of the journal is completed on the UMM campus by UMM students, staff, and friends. In collaboration with UMM's new Book Arts program, we aim to produce the best literary journal in the country. The work we have published in recent years is clear evidence that we are succeeding in our aim. The Binnacle accepts submissions from the students, faculty, and staff of the University of Maine at Machias and from writers and artists anywhere in the world. Please submit original poetry, short fiction, short short fiction, creative non-fiction, as well as photography and other works of visual art, both color and black and white.

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.
