Submissions

The magazine's editors welcome submissions and proposals from writers and artists for upcoming issues. In terms of creative writing, the editors prefer work that plays and questions aesthetic modes rather than recapitulates established form and methods. Criticism should be warm, lively, and written for an inquisitive general audience without sacrificing intellectual rigor. We welcome reviews and analysis of works new and old, classic and forgotten. Although the magazine does not publish academic essays, the editors welcome writing from scholars who want to reach new audiences.
