Dodo Eraser

About

Dodo Eraser is a lit mag and reading series, with a primary focus on poetry and creative prose and a secondary interest in anything that interests us. While we highly value formally strong writing, Dodo Eraser prioritizes creativity, fun, and emotional potency. We’re not an academic journal, we’re not “alt lit.” We’re a secret third thing, the last of a dead breed.

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.
