General Guidelines and Information for All Submissions
- Submissions are welcomed continuously and the journal is published quarterly.
- Accepted work might also be displayed in the Featured Work section of our website.
- All submissions must be previously unpublished. We consider works posted to social media sites, blogs, or forums to be published.
- Simultaneous submissions are welcome. Please let us know if your work is accepted elsewhere. You are always welcome to withdraw an individual piece, rather than the entire submission.
- Please visit our website prior to submitting. Valuable insight into what we are seeking is available there.
