  • Document Requirements: Submit your work as a single document.

  • Erasure/Found Poetry: Not accepted at this time.

  • Artwork: Artwork submissions are not accepted at this time.

  • Multiple Pieces: You may include up to two pieces in a single submission, as long as the total length stays within the word/page limits.

  • Entry Fees: One submission fee covers one document, whether it contains one or two pieces. Multiple submissions are allowed, but each requires a separate $2 fee.

  • Formatting:

    • Prose: Double-spaced, standard font (e.g., Times New Roman). Comic Sans is not permitted.

  • Genre & Cover Letter: If your work does not perfectly fit a listed genre, select the closest match and note your classification in your cover letter. Include the genre and your publication history. If you have no prior publications, that’s perfectly fine.

  • Language: International submissions are welcome if primarily in English. Code-switching or blending of languages is not permitted.

  • Translations: We accept author-created translations of your unpublished work. AI-assisted or AI-generated translations are not permitted.
