A good journal, now open for submissions.

With a family of over 1,300 contributors hailing from 59 countries—and a constellation of over 160,000 readers in 150 countries—we provide the kind of international exposure and diverse, engaged readership that your writing deserves.

Always independent, always free-access, and always advertising-free, discover what our readers already know; we publish accomplished, well-established authors—side by side—with fresh, emerging voices. With an average response time of 9 days, every submission receives a prompt, respectful response that details what we appreciate about the work; this is what all writers deserve. Read our previous issues, and see how we approach publishing differently.

Send us your finest poetry, flash fiction, and creative nonfiction for Issue 37–NOW through September 30th!
