We do everything we can to help submitting authors know if we are the right magazine for their piece. We even list the typical length of stories we publish in a low-tech bar chart. Often, getting a "yes" is just about finding the right #litmag fit! buff.ly/K79OL9S

We’re almost done with the first full week of 2026… *phew.* Almost everyone has some sort of New Year’s resolution, but, as writers, we often plan to just “write more.” What are your New Year’s writing resolutions? Sound off in the replies. If it relates to writing, it counts!

End the year by emailing/tagging/etc. a writer who wrote something that inspired you, brought you joy, meant something to you this year!
LAST DAY OF THE YEAR so it's time to do all those things that scare you. Email that writer. Furiously apply for that thing. Buy what you've bookmarked. Do it joyfully & bask in the knowledge that tomorrow is all new ❤️🔥

From a performance art perspective, I propose Ben leave this as his final skeet and disappear from public life and never contact anyone ever again
Accidentally discovered the giant bag of Hershey’s kisses in my sister’s cabinet. I slammed the door shut and walked away really fast and am sitting in the other room but already I know that it’s no use and my future is now set in stone.

Every time a bowl game takes place in the Dallas Cowboys practice facility, like the Frisco Bowl, I’m reminded that, bafflingly, this iconic fight happened outside that space.

I once dropped in on this poetry bookstore here in Seoul and they were busy putting together someone’s $10,000 poetry purchase, like, someone just put that money down and said, “Give me one of everything.” Haunted by that like we’re all haunted by the Beast’s library in Beauty and the Beast.
Poetry. These two giant pallets are full of poetry. Two thousand volumes of poetry.
