Due to a high volume of submissions, we respond only to manuscripts of interest. If you have not heard back from us after six months, you may assume we do not have a place for your project.

Submit only one project at a time.
Manuscripts should be double-spaced.
Please include your name, address, and contact information on your manuscript/dummy and in your email.
You're welcome to share any information about yourself that could help our editors understand how your experiences and perspective connect to your work.
