About

Founded in 2017, eMerge Online Literary Magazine is an international journal dedicated to publishing bold, resonant writing that challenges, surprises, and endures. We seek work that lingers—on the page and in the mind—championing both emerging voices and established writers whose work speaks with clarity, courage, and craft.
eMerge publishes poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and hybrid work that engages the world honestly and imaginatively. We believe literature is both art and witness, and we welcome work that takes risks, ask questions, and trusts the intelligence of its readers.

Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions, and they do not offer monetary payment for accepted submissions. (Note: About 9% of magazines always charge fees.)
The fee is USD $3 (average for magazines that charge).
