wildness accepts submissions of poetry, fiction, and non-fiction and considers work in most styles, forms, or genres. For a better idea of our preferences, we always recommend reading through our previous issues.
We currently publish our issues annually (in August) and read submissions on a rolling basis—all work submitted will simply be considered for the next open issue.
- For poetry, please send no more than 5 poems; with fiction and non-fiction, please limit the submission to 2,500 words.
- Please only submit previously unpublished work, and though simultaneous submissions are okay, please mention it in your email. (Also, should your work be accepted elsewhere, please do let us know.)
- All submissions should include a third-person bio and short cover note in the body of the email. The work should be attached in a single .docx or PDF file—please do not submit using OneDrive or Google Docs.
- We aim to reply within a month of receipt; please do query us if it’s been longer than this.
If you have any queries, please contact us.
