Do You Have Any Cover Letter Advice?
We only read them after we have read the work, please consider that we will use the 3rd person bio in the journal.
What Do You Look For In A Submission?
An understanding of craft. A fear-averse and Love forward underpinning. Strange-form, humor, intelligence, arresting imagery, a confidence that shines through, a Love of language, and catharsis.
What Advice Do You Have For First-time Submitters?
Our journal welcomes readers and writers who ask: What does it mean to be? To know? To feel? To refuse? To imagine otherwise? Send us work that creates a kinder, more beautiful world--even if its by one reader at a time. Fear-less, Stay Human.
Who Is Your Ideal Reader?
People who love poetry, literature, and philosophy. Humans who want to connect, and feel better about the world we live in. PHILanthropy (human-loving), PHILosophy (deep thinkers).
