Submission calls

fictionLiterary

Open year-round through Submittable. Cagibi seeks literary fiction with memorable phrasing, compelling characters, surprising storylines, immersive imagery, authentic dialogue, tight narratives, creative structures, and clarity; it does not publish genre fiction such as hard science fiction or romance, though speculative elements are welcome.

nonfictionLiterary

Open year-round through Submittable. Cagibi seeks smart literary nonfiction that packs a punch, whether quiet or dramatic; memoirists should ground readers in the older narrator’s point of view rather than offering a vague retelling.

otherLiterary

Open year-round through Submittable. English translations from any language are welcome for both prose and poetry; include the original text if possible, biographies of the writer and translator, and a brief introduction. Cagibi acquires first serial rights, and anthology selections receive one complimentary copy as compensation.

poetryLiterary

Open year-round through Submittable. Cagibi seeks literary poetry, including narrative poems that enact events rather than simply summarizing or concluding, with transparent language, voice, genuine emotion, and serious thought.
