Submissions for our Summer 2019 issue will now remain open until 11:59PM ET on March 23rd.
We are seeking dark, psychological literary works, with a particular interest in pieces that explore themes related to mental health, isolation, and displacement.
We are particularly interested in fiction and flashfiction pieces, but will continue to accept poetry and art submissions.
We look forward to reading your submissions!
