Formatting
Submit all prose and poetry in Times New Roman, 12pt font. Poetry single spaced, prose double spaced. We accept .docx and .word files. For photography and multimedia, TIFF, JPEG and EPS work best for us, with an image quality of at least 300 ppi. Please include all submissions (not including art/photography) in one file.

Since we only publish unpublished work, it’s super important to us that you tell everyone about your first time. We reserve the right to republish the piece or include it in any anthologies, as well as to display it in our archives.
