We love writing that is adventurous, fresh, and evokes the excitement of a late-summer first day of school. We want to deeply know your characters and embark on journeys where we can smell, taste, and hear the vivid settings you create.

We welcome any subject, genre, or style, but prefer more International perspectives over Americana. Submissions must be in English.

Our standards are high. All submissions are initially reviewed by our dedicated Staff Readers and then, when necessary, carefully edited by our volunteer editors to ensure the highest quality before publication.
