Do You Have Any Cover Letter Advice?
A brief cover letter is sufficient. Include relevant publication credits if applicable, but focus on the work itself. We prioritize the strength of the submission over presentation.
What Do You Look For In A Submission?

What Advice Do You Have For First-time Submitters?
Read our mission and previous work carefully. We value atmosphere, precision, and deliberate structure. Submit your strongest, most fully realized piece rather than work in progress.
