CALLS FOR SUBMISSIONS
ISSUE 52 GENERAL SUBMISSIONS
Submissions are now open for issue #52 of Qwerty, to be released in Winter 2027. This issue has no specific theme and is welcome to all works of poetry, prose, and visual art, subject to our Submission Guidelines (see below). Authors curated for this issue will receive $15 per selection. Submissions are open until October 12.
GET READY FOR A... (Dropout-themed poetry chapbook)
We are once again collaborating with our friends at Gridlock Lit to help bring a cool project to life. What Noise a Fox Make: Poems for Dropouts is a collaborative chapbook featuring poems based on the series featured on the Dropout streaming service (formerly CollegeHumor). This is a non-profit chapbook, meaning only enough copies will be kept by the publisher to recoup production costs, with all other copies being distributed evenly to each contributor. The only criteria to submit is that your poem must have some Dropout/CollegeHumor reference. This project takes direct inspiration from Taco Bell Quarterly so if you're not sure what counts as a Dropout reference, consult TBQ for how Taco Bell shows up in their issues to get the kind of vibe we're going for. Submissions will be open until August 31.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES DO WE ACCEPT CONTENT GENERATED OR DERIVED FROM AI. This includes content which has been created by AI, or content which has been drafted or otherwise partially-constructed using AI. If you have used AI at all in your process for your submission, you will be disqualified.
You may submit up to six pages of poetry, 3000 words of prose, or five works of visual art. You may submit these works simultaneously to other publications, but please let us know if any part of your submission has been curated for another publication.
