As the end of the year draws ever closer, we thought we’d give you one more list of places to submit your writing. Because, you know, you have nothing else going on the last few weeks of December (ha!). We hope you’ve found this series helpful. We’ll be back with more in the new year!
“Our emphasis is on literature that explores the mysteries of childhood experience, the wonder of adult reflection, and how the two connect over a lifespan….We want to feature writing that layers the events of the writer’s early years with a sense of wisdom or learning accumulated in adult life.”
Seeking: creative nonfiction
Submission period: October 1- January 3.
“We want art that guts us with surgical precision.
Make everything useful.”
Seeking: fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, visual art

“BWQ features the voices of women with bi+ sexualities (i.e., bi, pan, fluid, and other non-binary sexualities).
