Our spring submission call is coming up🌺 Since we've been experiencing high submission volumes these past few calls (and could use more volunteer readers to match 😃), we are setting a 500 submission limit for this period. Excited to read your stories and poems!

We recognize our response times are longer than the average lit mag and this decision helps avoid even longer response times. However we do have some exciting things on the horizon! 🧵

We are working diligently on getting responses back to writers with submissions in our (very large) queue. Because of this, we have decided to forgo our typical fall submission call. We apologize for any disappointment but will reopen in March of 2025! 🧵
