How to submit

  • Processs

    Form

  • Cover letter

    No cover letter advice

  • Eligibility

    No specific eligibility requirements

  • Formatting

    All creative work should be attached as a .doc or .docx (if the form requires it, you may also use .pdf). Title the .doc or .docx “Genre- FirstNameLastName.” For example, “Nonfiction-JaneDoe.docx”.

  • Author's rights

    We acquire First North American serial rights, and rights revert to the author upon publication. We ask to be acknowledged in any future reprints

  • Additional info

    Please send only one submission to each genre per submission window. We are particularly interested in works that speak from a place of embodiment — the lived experiences that touch belief and doubt. We use these terms broadly and are interested in reading any work that may brush up against them. If you are unsure whether your work would be a good fit for P&L, check out our archive. We value economy in language, and appreciate flash (stories limited to 1000 words), but will occasionally take longer works (up to 7000 words)
