Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
We are open to short fiction, creative non-fiction, poetry and art submissions. We focus on talent local to West Michigan.

Yes
Do You Have Any Cover Letter Advice?
It's helpful to have read the guidelines, and to have offered some indication that you're not sending us a form letter.
What Do You Look For In A Submission?
Clear signs that we're not the first people to see it. Critique groups and workshops are essential tools for authors and poets: Use them before you pitch us.
What Advice Do You Have For First-time Submitters?
We're a regional publication, so you'll need to convince us that you're from or are deeply connected to West Michigan. That said, we're not necessarily looking for content ABOUT West Michigan, so please do not shoehorn unnecessary place references.
Do You Have A Favorite Unsolicited Submission Discovery Or Anecdote?
Although we don't do heavy genre fiction, we received a lightly themed genre fiction piece. It was the author's first publication credit, and our first cohort of nominees for the Pushcart Prize.
Who Is Your Ideal Reader?
Eclectic. Polymath. Eager to discover new talent.
