Short fiction should emphasize elegance in voice, structure, and characterisation. Genre fiction such as science fiction and fantasy is not normally published, flash fiction is not accepted, and stories must be no more than 4,000 words. One story per submission.
Poetry should demonstrate commitment to the ultra-specificities of language. Poems must be no longer than 50 lines, with no more than five poems in one submission.
Finished essays may be submitted, including lyric, memoir, personal, reportage, criticism, and features; academic essays and reviews are not accepted. There is no set word length, but pieces tend to be under 4,000 words. Pitches for essays, reviews, and interviews should be emailed; non-fiction pieces typically run 2,000–5,000 words and review pitches no longer than 2,000 words.
