Submission Tips
Don’t be literal! We do not want work that explicitly mentions, or refers to, our theme or prompt. These are meant to be inspirational, not directional.
- Submitted work does not have to respond to the Issue Theme or Prompt. We give preference to responses, but all work will be considered.
- You may respond to either the Theme or the Prompt, or both (or neither).
- You don’t have to tell us you’re responding, but you may (we can usually tell).
- If responding, use the Theme or Prompt as a gentle suggestion for the mood, style, or content of your work. Does the Theme or Prompt evoke anything in you? If so, try to submit work that may have similar associations or inferences.
- Prompts exist to inspire. If ours don’t inspire you, ignore them.
If you haven’t already, please familiarize yourself with our Submission Guidelines before submitting work.
