General submissions are now open for the Autumn/Winter 2024 issue, themed Coming of Age.

We’re looking for stories, essays, memoir and poetry on anything to do with the transition to adulthood: first love, hormonal angst, Saturday jobs, brushes with the law, experimentation, gaining independence, losing virginity. Literary reflections on books that made an impact during late adolescence would make particularly welcome essays. Tales of college and first steps on the career ladder are also relevant.

Writers should send short stories and non-fiction of 2,000-6,000 words and/or up to three poems by the deadline of October 20, 2024. In addition to thematic relevance, we seek engaging, elegant writing that maintains a high literary standard. Please visit the submissions page for guidelines.

We look forward to reading your work!
