General Nonfiction

We're here for literary nonfiction broadly conceived — from personal essays to hybrid works to criticism or theory (or some combination thereof!) — that is both grounded and imaginative. 

We want to read prose that is structurally playful or daring, work that engages with genre and tradition in new ways, and/or sees the ordinary as extraordinary. We are especially excited by works that are part of a larger conversation. In any case, we are looking for compelling narratives of inquiry and discovery and work that makes us think, see things differently, and feel more fully alive.   

Pieces longer than 15 pages are not disqualified from consideration, but they are unlikely to be accepted—so if you've got to go long, make it astonishing. 

We eagerly welcome, encourage, and crave submissions from Black, Indigenous, queer and trans folks, writers of color, and disabled writers, and we hope to include both established and new voices in our pages. We can't wait to read your work. 

Please attach your work as a .pdf, .doc, or .docx file.
