Our books are spells for unraveling capitalism. We have a heavy West Coast lean towards the experimental / radical / mystical.
Please note that we are not currently accepting general submissions except through our full length book contest.
Coal Hill publishes an online, multi-genre literary journal in February, June, and November of each year. Each issue features 8-10 poets, 4-5 prose writers, and 2 in-depth book reviews. At least 30% of the journal is comprised of Pittsburgh writers (Our definition of Pittsburgh writer is simply that you live or have spent a significant time in the city. The pieces submitted do not need to be Pittsburgh themed.) We’re looking for a wide range of voices; we hope you’ll be one of them.
Waxwing is a literary journal promoting the tremendous cultural diversity of contemporary American literature, alongside international voices in translation. We believe that American voices are, at their cores, both multicultural and multinational, and so the editors’ mission is to include American writers from all cultural identities — in terms of race, ethnicity, indigenous tribe, gender, class, sexuality, age, education, ability, language, religion, and region — alongside international voices, published bilingually.
Waxwing publishes poetry, fiction, essays, interviews, reviews, art, and music, as well as international literature in translation. Waxwing currently accepts submissions of poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and translations; all other content is solicited.
Due to the high number of submissions and Submittable’s fees for magazines, Waxwing caps submissions at 300/month—submitting at the beginning of the month improves your chances of catching us before we hit the limit. If you are unable to submit due to closure, please come back and submit the next month.
Women's poetry
We publish women's poetry of various styles and content. Rhymed, free verse, prose poetry - we love it all as long as it's done well. Write the poem that only you can write!
We are especially interested in Sci-Fi and fantasy, but will consider most genres. We recommend looking at our website to get an idea of the range that we publish.
Read the guidelines before you submit. Keep your manuscript as free of errors as you can. Our editors recommend How to be a Fantastic Writer by Reah & Grubb for writers of commercial fiction.
UAM undergraduates solicit enticing writing from emerging and established authors, art and photography, and graphic literature.
Please read us before submitting and read the guidelines. We like to publish people we haven't previously published.
Poets Reading the News is a digital platform that publishes original poetry about current events. We believe in the power of poetry to transform the world and how we see each other. We call it journalism in verse.
We are, at heart, a newspaper – the revelation being that our copy is pure verse, produced by a diverse staff of poet-journalists from around the world, spanning disciplines, views, and geographies. What it comes down to is gripping writing about the world around us and in us.
Poets Reading the News publishes unsolicited and original poetry and prose about current events. Whenever possible, include links to news stories regarding the topic of your work. If you are integrating quotes or data into your writing, you must provide links to your sources.
We encourage writers of all backgrounds to submit their writing, especially poets of color, women poets, LGBTQI+ poets, and poets from countries and regions near and far.
To get more information and submit your writing, please visit our website. Thank you for your interest. We look forward to reading your poetry!
The Brown Orient exclusively publishes women and LGBTQ+ writers and artists from local and diasporic South Asia, Southeast Asia, Southwest Asia, and Central Asia.
We believe that what you create reveals so much about your soul, may it be weaved from figments or based on fragments of real experiences. Give us stories that give us a glimpse of your world, poems that speak your truth.
akinoga press is a Baltimore-based micro-press that specialzes in hand-bound chapbooks of a spacious/minimalist/austere flavor, though we're on the lookout for anything small, quiet, odd, and easily-missed.
We're also dedicated to creating a space for voices that need to be heard and works that 100% need to be read.
akinoga press is currently closed for submissions/unsolicited manuscripts; check back in mid-2019 for the next reading period.
If you are familiar with the press and catalogue, and you feel like you have a manuscript/project that meshes with akinoga's aesthetics and mission, please keep the press in mind when the reading period is open again.
Deep Overstock is the International Booksellers' Journal. Our third issue is all about paranormal romance. We'd love to read short stories under 3000, flash fiction, mircofiction and poetry especially. We'd also love art, sculpture, spells, comics--any medium. Now go on, supernaturally seduce us!
Our prose editors are Mickey Collins and Robert Eversmann. Our poetry editor is Ariel Kusby. And our art editor is Piers Rippey. In your bio, please include any bookselling experience you might have had in the past. Mention if you worked at a library or a bookstore or a store that sold books. Or please tell us simply why you love bookstores, what bookstores mean to you, what significant experience you've had in a bookstore or with a bookseller.
