Word limit: 10,000 words. Longer submissions will be automatically withdrawn. Please no identifying information on your submission.
All prose pieces receive 3 reads by our reading staff, before going to an editor for a decision. While this guarantees that your work will be carefully considered, we regret that it also leads to longer wait times. We appreciate your patience!
All nonfiction will be considered for both print and online publication, including the online column Long Reads, which publishes longer form essays, and the online column Dispatches, which publishes much shorter pieces.
Please submit only once per reading period, until you hear back on your submission.
