The Phare is now open for submissions for our Winter ’26 issue, and we’re inviting writers from across our global community to send us work that speaks to the truth of being human. We publish short fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry, and we’re drawn to writing that holds a mirror up to the world – pieces that illuminate, unsettle, comfort, or challenge. If your work carries emotional honesty, a clear voice, and a sense of resonance that lingers, we want to read it. As always, we encourage writers to explore our past issues to get a feel for the kind of work we champion. Whether you’re emerging or established, if you have a piece that feels like something that guides, reveals, or shines—we’d love to see it for Winter ’26.
Please see submission guidelines for word counts, and all other submission details.
