About

Every now and then we all feel a little Anomalous. We welcome submissions of literary works of texts (poetry, fiction, nonfiction and translation) and hybrid, muti- and new media, audio or video literary works, and images. We realize literary is a slippery term, and we most assuredly do not mean the fifth definition as listed on Dictionary.com. Neither do we think of the term as exclusive—H.G. Wells and Anaïs Nin created great works of literature. If it’s good, it’s good. Period. We’re not sure that we can explain our aesthetic in a way that makes sense, so if you’re thinking of sending us your work, take a look at what we’ve already published. It’s all online and free. We want works that challenge us, and challenge you, to move outside our comfort zones, individually and collectively, and socially and anti-socially, and liminally and subliminally, and into spaces new and old and musty and fresh.

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.
