Send us your work
We welcome writing that is attentive to language and alive to the ordinary. Submission is by email; there is no upload form.

How to submit
Email [email protected] with the genre and title in the subject. Attach one DOCX, ODT, or accessible PDF. In the message, include a brief third-person note only if useful; publication never depends on credentials.
Simultaneous and multiple submissions
Simultaneous submissions are welcome. Please withdraw promptly by replying to your original email if work is accepted elsewhere. Send one submission per genre at a time and wait for a response before sending another in that genre.
Response targets
We aim to acknowledge messages within 14 days and respond within 12 weeks. These are targets, not guarantees. If 16 weeks pass, a concise status query is welcome.
Rights and payment
Submitting grants no rights. If we offer publication, terms will be stated in writing before acceptance. We generally seek first electronic publication rights and non-exclusive archival rights; copyright remains with the creator. Any payment, if available for a reading period, will be disclosed before agreement rather than assumed.
AI-generated work
We do not consider work substantially generated by artificial intelligence or submitted without meaningful human authorship. Assistive spelling, grammar, and accessibility tools are acceptable. If a generative system materially shaped language or structure, disclose that use; we may decline work whose authorship cannot be responsibly represented.
Accessibility and care
Tell us if a format, deadline, or communication method creates a barrier. We will make reasonable efforts to accept an alternative accessible file or plain-text submission. Content notes are optional and may be included when they help a reader approach difficult material.
Withdrawals and corrections
Withdraw by replying to the original thread with WITHDRAWAL in the subject and the title named clearly. Before publication, send factual or typographical corrections in the same thread. Editorial changes are discussed, not imposed silently.
