Call for Submission

We're hoping for pieces as diverse, chaotic, inspiring, and complex as families can be.

We want your brave, your pain, your love, your teeth, your howling beast.

A nourishing space in which aspiring writers can see themselves, explore, and embrace their own particularities, and create more expansively.

Think all that words can do when a picture is only worth a thousand!

We welcome excellent writing from diverse voices and experiences.

THEMA Literary Journal is a stimulating forum for established and emerging literary artists.

We’re curious to hear from those who love to wander and write about their experiences. The focus is on connection across the world. Keep that in mind. It’s a compulsion, a restlessness that keeps many of us on edge and on the move.

Parabola is a quarterly journal devoted to the exploration of the quest for meaning as it is expressed in the world’s myths, symbols, and religious traditions, with particular emphasis on the relationship between this store of wisdom and our modern life

Our aim is to showcase ten writers who we believe will continue to produce great work.

New South is a print and online journal seeking to publish high-quality work, regardless of genre, form, or regional ties. We want what every journal wants: the new, the fresh, the different.

Open Minds Quarterly is a literary journal that features explorations of life in a mad world.

Readers Write asks readers to address subjects on which they’re the only authorities.

This year to celebrate Earth Day we collect poems that share the story of water. Water is life. Water heals, nourishes, cleans, and feeds.

"Everything that slows us down and forces patience, everything that sets us back into the slow circles of nature, is a help. Gardening is an instrument of grace."
---May Sarton

Chautauqua publishes writing that expresses a sense of inquiry into questions of personal, social, political, spiritual, and aesthetic importance—and when, where, and how those values and questions intersect.

We want your ugly prayers, divine conquests and holy matrimonies.
