What do you miss? Who do you long for? What lies buried in the past that you wish you could reclaim?

We get excited about work that explodes the status quo.

We are especially interested in the metaphysically broad; we look for the profound, real, fearless, gender-inclusive, curious voice.

We are 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.

We are always intrigued as to how writers translate their work from the various themes we offer.

Submissions are restricted to those who are Indigenous and have a connection to the Great Lakes Region.

We wish to go somewhere unexpected, somewhere wanting, somewhere unheard.

You can pick one – Lost or Found– or both to use as an onramp for your creative journey.

Changes can be physical or philosophical, real or imagined. What are changes to you?

Passager has always been about welcoming new voices and giving readers a broad range of the best work by older writers.

Interpret those words as you will. We can't wait to see what is stirred.

The heart of what we want is your personal, visceral, idiosyncratic understanding of the world and the people in it as a consequence of humanity’s relationship with the earth.

We want stories of cashiers, custodians, servers, concierges, stockers, line cooks, bar tenders, maids etc.
Make them spooky. Make them real. Make them MIDLVLMAG!

We want your weird, muddy, and messy - the turtles without shells, boiled frogs, & mushroom-capped fairies. Show us what's in your swamp.
