PFN – Tupelo Quarterly Seeking Collaborative & Cross-Disciplinary Texts
Tupelo Quarterly cultivates generous artistic community, celebrates intellectual curiosity and creative risk, and presumes abundance. We hold the gate open, not closed.
Tupelo Quarterly seeks to cultivate dialogue between the arts. With that in mind, we would love to consider works that exist at the boundaries of genres and disciplines. Please send up to 15 pages of cross-disciplinary material in PDF, .doc, or .docx format.
As always, we look forward to reading your work!
General Guidelines:
Tupelo Quarterly accepts poetry, fiction, and nonfiction.
How to send work
All submissions must come through Submittable. We do not accept any hardcopy submissions. All our open calls are listed there with specific details relevant to each opportunity. Please read the guidelines for each category carefully. If no categories appear, that means the reading period is closed. Simultaneous submissions are welcome as long as you notify us immediately at contactTQ@tupelopress.org if the work is placed elsewhere. Submissions may not be changed after entry. We do not accept previously published material.
Notifications
Submittable sends automated confirmations of receipt, and we will use Submittable to accept or decline all work. Beyond these notifications, kindly refrain from requesting an individual response to confirm receipt of your submission, contest entry fee payment, or status in a contest. Our turnaround for submissions is approximately three months for any given issue of the journal.
Ethical Guidelines
Tupelo Quarterly endorses and abides by the Ethical Guidelines of the Council of Literary Magazines and Presses (CLMP), which can be reviewed here.
Acceptances
If Tupelo Quarterly publishes your work, we ask for 1st serial rights and acknowledgement if the work later appears elsewhere. We also ask to retain the option to include the work in a print anthology, The Best of Tupelo Quarterly, if the editors select it for the book. Authors/artists retain copyright.
