Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (February 2020). We provide the following information as an archive.

About

If nothing else; our magazine is about the heart. Each issue should bring about a sense of connection and matters of the shared human experience. We want to foster a love triangle between you the reader, the author, and the words. In reading Bitterzoet (pronounced Bitter -"joot"), we hope to invoke the ideas presented in Anne Carson’s essays on Eros and the bittersweet.

Voluntary Fees: This project accepts voluntary fees for "tip jar" submissions.
