Your words are the only things missing

What has inspired you recently? What poem has been collecting dust in the back of your journal? Do you have a short story about something weird you’ve observed? Whatever it is—we want to hear from you!

The submission deadline for our fourth issue, Winter 2026 is October 1, 2026. Any piece submitted after this deadline will be considered for the following issue.

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

While we have accepted works from a variety of authors in the past, we are now only accepting submissions from authors with a Steubenville (or nearby) mailing address. Doing so enables us to really stay true to our mission, which is to create a in-print space for authors within a certain geographic region. A tremendous thank you for your understanding.

Not sure if your piece is a little too weird? Take a look at our submission guidelines.
