While the following are guidelines for traditional fiction, poetry, and non-fiction submissions, we also love to see work that resists definition. Do you have theory fiction, visual poetry, or a script you think works well on the page? We'd love to see that too! 

We are also interested in submissions of visual artwork and photography.
