Conjunctions Online Submission (Not themed) Fall 2025

This Submittable window will be open from October 3, 12pm – October 31, 2025. Conjunctions's online exclusives do not have thematic restrictions.

GUIDELINES

• All submissions must be in English and previously unpublished. We will consider works in translation for which the translator has secured the rights.
• Although we have no official restrictions regarding word count, most of the manuscripts we select for publication are under 8,000 words long. For poetry submissions, we suggest sending half a dozen poems, depending on length.
•  Along with your manuscript, please include a brief cover letter. Be sure to list your name, the title of your submission, and your email address.
• Former contributor to Conjunctions, in print or online? Please note this in your cover letter.
• We cannot accept revisions after a manuscript has been submitted. If a manuscript is accepted, there will be an opportunity to make edits then.
• While we strongly prefer to receive exclusive submissions, simultaneous submissions are permitted. If a simultaneous submission is accepted elsewhere, please withdraw it immediately from Submittable.
• As always, we only consider previously unpublished work. 
• If a manuscript is accepted for publication online or in print, our editors will contact the author via email and Submittable.
• Please also note that partial submission withdrawals are strongly discouraged.
• Our small editorial staff reads every manuscript carefully. We will do our very best to respond to your work within 6-8 months after receipt with the intention of getting back to you sooner than that. Please refrain from querying about the status of a submission until 8 months have passed.
