The editor will consider queries for works of creative nonfiction to be added to the anthology until June 15, 2023. All submitting writers should read the guidelines thoroughly, then query the editor and wait for a response about whether to send the work. 

Submissions of reviews and interviews will continue to be accepted during this time. Again, please read the guidelines thoroughly before sending a query.

The editor is particularly interested in works about or set in the states of Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, South Carolina, and Texas, as they are currently underrepresented in the anthology. 

Works accepted during this Open Submissions Period will be published in August 2023.
