Rawhead Issue #1 is Open to Submissions

Rawhead is an online journal publishing poetry, prose, and visual art that resists easy categories. We seek to champion work with emotional depth, sharp craft, and the power to unsettle. We see the arts as resistance against monsters in all their forms, and we’re seeking work that confronts, transforms, or exposes those forces with clarity and care. For Issue #1, we’re accepting submissions via email with no fee, or with an optional $3 donation for expedited (48-hour) responses; we welcome up to 7 poems, prose up to 4,000 words, or 3–10 visual art pieces in any medium. Each issue features our Editor’s Spotlight Award of $100 for one writer and one artist. We especially welcome submissions from BIPOC, queer, disabled, and neurodiverse creators whose voices have been overlooked or underestimated.
