P – Vallum Magazine Call for Submissions. Theme: “Endings & Beginnings”
VALLUM 20:2 “ENDINGS & BEGINNINGS”
Deadline: May 15, 2023

Submissions will be open April 15 – May 15, 2023. We are currently only taking poetry submissions.
Submissions are accepted through Submittable only. Each submission requires a minimum $3 donation; any donation over $20 will be issued a charitable receipt. If this amount presents a barrier to your ability to submit, please contact submission@vallummag.com for a fee waiver.
Please do not mail in submissions, do not include a submission in the body of an email, and do not send submissions outside of our designated reading periods, which are specified on our Submittable page. Thank you!
We pay our contributors!
The editors at Vallum strongly encourage Indigenous writers, writers of colour, gender non-conforming writers, differently abled writers, LGBTQI2S+ writers, writers with mental or physical illnesses, and writers who are otherwise affected by structural inequality to submit their work for consideration.
Vallum is interested in original and previously unpublished work. Ideal submissions are well-crafted, fresh and edgy. We are committed to enriching and continuing the tradition of poetry in the present day. We welcome submissions that deepen our understanding of what poetry is and can be. We are open to most styles, whether experimental or traditional – though issues are usually put together with an underlying theme in mind, so not all poetry can be accepted, even if it is genius!
General poetry submissions to Issue 20:2 “Endings & Beginnings” will be open from April 15 – May 15, 2023. See our site for guidelines.
