Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
Welcome to the second coming of The Green Sheaf, the literary journal first founded by Pamela Colman Smith in 1903. While The Green Sheaf’s first incarnation only lasted a year while Pamela was alive, this resurrection of The Green Sheaf is an attempt to do justice to Pamela’s legacy as a publisher and champion of other creators. It’s also an attempt to give it another chance at glory by utilizing the wonders of the internet—making publishing much more cost effective, and allowing us to reach the whole world, if we want to. As a form of restorative justice for past female and gender fluid creators once overlooked in their lifetimes, The Green Sheaf will now only publish works by female-identifying and gender-fluid individuals. In an effort to craft a fine publication with limited resources, we will publish twice a year. One of those issues will be solely dedicated to creators of a historically marginalized background, and the other will be a contest issue, featuring prizewinners only, but open to all female-identifying and gender-fluid creators. We will pay competitive rates. Our manifesto: We will elevate female, gender-fluid, and historically marginalized creators. We will discover jaw-dropping talent and showcase world-class writing. We will create a supportive, nurturing community. We honor and celebrate story as a vehicle for truth and connection. Our editorial tastes mainly align with the original vision of The Green Sheaf: folklore, fairy tales, mythology, and the mystical. We also enjoy the speculative, the darkly fantastical, folk horror, the weird/numinous, the surreal/strange, the gothic, and magical realism/slipstream. Furthermore, we love poetic language, exquisite prose, and lush imagery. Transport us with your words
