What are you looking for?
We’re looking for works that build on the American literary canon and tradition. Themes of interest include, but are not limited to: the individual, alienation, society, and the mob; spirituality, sin, and redemption; coming of age; social and economic class; ambition, hopes, and illusions; nature and the land; the rural and the urban; the gothic, the surreal, and the strange. We are drawn especially to works with a certain timeless and human quality, and to writers with a strong vision and voice.
We also welcome work that does not fall neatly into any one of these themes, or that break traditional American literary motifs or conventions.
How do I submit my work?
