SUBMISSIONS

submissions for issue six will open Fall 2024

submissions for the Diné Writers on Craft issue are currently open

Colorado College's emerging literary journal is looking for writing that stirs the senses and invokes things wild, sacred, daring, and visionary. We are as excited about feeling out the limits of genre, language, perspective, and narrative as we are about the careful rendering of that which makes humans human and keeps time waxing and waning.
