Tips From the Editor
Online submissions strongly preferred. We consider: poetry (up to five poems or five pages); translations of poetry; flash fiction (500 words max). We do not consider work that has been previously published on any website or in any print publication; unsolicited reviews or interviews. We’re an active contributor to the Chicago literary scene and coordinate several Chicago-area readings and workshops a year, as well as AWP-related events; we’d love to see you!
