Do You Have Any Cover Letter Advice?
Keep it short and sweet, but don’t be afraid to show some personality and voice.
What Do You Look For In A Submission?
We’re interested in polished, well-crafted work that plays with language to move the spirit—pieces with something to say and a compelling way of saying it. We also love an interesting revision story: evidence of experimentation, choice, and process.
What Advice Do You Have For First-time Submitters?
Please review our full submission guidelines and download our submission template. And don’t be afraid to share your messy and wild drafts!
Who Is Your Ideal Reader?
Our ideal reader enjoys the messy creative process; appreciates craft in context; wants more questions than answers; sees writing as a form of discovery; loves revision; hates revision; blurs art and autobiography; experiments for pleasure.
