Generation Gap

Fledgling Listing: This project is new and has been listed with us for less than six months.

About

We aim to publish writers of all ages in a print magazine. We want writers and artists spanning the generations to explore the same subjects in the same space and especially encourage joint submissions from writers of different generations. Side by side submissions should be submitted together in one file and be submitted to the call for the youngest writer in the collaboration. Each issue is themed and writers should submit their poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and art/photography. While we aren’t aiming for a clean stylistic aesthetic, we are looking for writing that approaches the subject with honesty, vulnerability, and clarity of voice. We want work that is brave.
Generation Gap is based in the Pacific Northwest, but we accept writing from around the world.

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