deLuge is an online literary and arts journal devoted to the wealth of creativity that arises from dreams - directly or indirectly - and from the deeply felt/experienced life. [Note: No, your work does not have to be literally from or about a dream.]

Additional info
While we do need to charge a little for submissions (we use the submission fees to cover costs for website and submittable), we do not like to - so we offer free reading periods several times a year. This is an absolute labor of love for us. We are a two person team (meaning we do everything from being the readers to designing the journal to maintaining the website) unaffliated with anyone but ourselves - which is one of the reasons why we started the journal. It is that personal to us. We are so, so excited to see your work.
