Our goal is to spotlight colored writers of various ethnic and cultural backgrounds in the fields of poetry, fiction, and creative non-fiction; professionally published or seldom seen; international or from around-the-way; writers who 'bask in the glow' or 'lay under rocks' - if you fall under any of these categories, then we are here to let you represent yourself!
Guidelines:
• Submissions accepted year round, but know that reading periods are generally closed from 2 to 3 months following submission deadlines.
