We want your creative nonfiction! You can find the link to submit in our bio. Swipe through these photos to read the kind of work we’re looking for, straight from Jesse Lacy, our Lead Nonfiction Editor!
Quote slide on an orange background. The text reads: “It excites me to read creative nonfiction pieces that directly and indirectly confront their genre and veracity, essays that question the nature of ‘truth’ and the way it appears on the page.” To the right, a small illustration of a person in green pants holding an oversized pencil. Quote slide with text: “I want to read essays that wrestle with their containers. I want to read lyric essays, braided essays, hermit crab essays, essays with forms I couldn’t imagine before reading them.” Below is an illustration of a person in glasses sitting on the floor surrounded by books, reading. Quote slide with text: “I’m eager to dig into an essay where the narrator converses with dead movie stars or their neighbor’s cat.” On the left is an illustration of a large blue hand holding a pencil; on the right, a small black cat peeking out of an orange box. Quote slide with text: “I want to read an essay that does all of these as it nurtures a strong emotional core. In short, I am looking for essays that put the ‘creative’ in creative nonfiction.” At the top is a small illustration of hands writing on a paper surrounded by stationery. A small Blackbird logo is at the bottom.

Don’t be afraid to let a first draft be messy—writing is a continuous process, not a one-and-done deal.
