Okie Modern A Journal of Contemporary Oklahoma Literature

See other projects related to this listing.

About

Okie Modern is a literary journal dedicated to exhibiting the best of Oklahoma writing. We publish work about Oklahoma or work created by writers and artists from Oklahoma. Our aim is to create a venue for Oklahoma literature and art. In doing so, we hope to build community among Oklahoma creators and spark further literary and artistic development in the state. We platform Oklahoma literature and art, making it available and accessible to all.

While we emphasize work from writers who were born, raised, worked in, or who consider themselves to be connected to the state, we also accept work from creators who do not have a direct connection to the state, but whose writing in some way features Oklahoma.

Limited Demographic: Submissions are restricted to Oklahomans and those writing about Oklahoma.

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.
