unpredictable, fearless, glistening, innovative… GREAT

• Submissions are open from October 15th through January 15th every year. Need a reminder? Sign up to our monthly newsletter.

• Our focus is on the edgy, fearless, and experimental but we do not have a set theme for our anthologies. We highly recommend reading one of our previous collections to get a feel for the type of work we are interested in. Our latest anthology is Birds Fall Silent in the Mechanical Sea. We are based in New York City and welcome submissions from both national and international writers.

• 1-4 poems of any length. If you are submitting more than one poem, include them all in a single document. Do not submit multiple poems in separate files. Single-spaced please, or how it should appear on the printed page. Start each poem on a new page.

• 1 prose/creative nonfiction piece, 2 if under 500 words. Maximum word count: 2,500.

• Multiple submissions (in the same genre) are not accepted and will not be read. Please wait until you receive a response from us before submitting again.

• Simultaneous submissions are fine – just notify us with your good news immediately. If you wish to withdraw individual pieces from consideration, click on the title of your submission in Submittable, click on Active, and add a note listing the title(s) to be withdrawn. If you wish to withdraw your entire submission, please use the Withdraw button.

• Please don’t send revisions. You can always add a note to your submissions if there is something you need to let us know about.

• Payment: One contributor copy, plus $10 for writers based in USA. To help towards shipping costs, international writers receive one copy.
