We seek essays by writers who are willing to wrestle with language and experiment with form. We have a soft spot for place-based writing, flash and micro memoirs, prose poems, hermit crab essays, or anything that pushes the limits of the fourth genre.

Nonfiction submissions may include one piece of up to 8,000 words or up to three flash or micro pieces (up to roughly 1,000 words each) in each submission.

Excerpts (also up to 8,000 words) from book-length works are welcome, so long as they stand alone.

Nonfiction work does not need to be double-spaced; please submit it as you would like it to appear.
