At the beginning of another year, we’re looking forward to several topics that hopefully will inspire you to send in some of your work:
- Love (in its many forms: romantic, family, unrequited, and more)
- History (including personal history)
- Absurdism
- Movies
- Babies/parenting
We will definitely be running issues on love and (personal) history. The other topics are related to pieces we’ve already accepted, so we’d like to find more like-minded works. We are also looking ahead to spring and would like some pieces related to the turning of the seasons.
For more details on how to submit, please visit our Submissions page. Send us the work you’re most excited about sharing: your new, your favorite pieces that can’t find a home, your most experimental, your most thoughtful. We can’t wait to read it!
