Interested in reading at one of our events? We accept submissions of writing in any genre. Please send us, oh, anywhere between 3-10 pages of representative work (if we select you as a reader, you don’t have to read your submission, but know we chose you based on that work, so it should be similar quality/content/genre-wise). You can send us more than that, but we won’t promise to read the whole thing if you do. Please don’t send less.

You're welcome to include a little about yourself, but it isn't necessary. We base our decisions on your work, not who you are (and it should go without saying that if you send us a bio and no selection of work, this does not qualify as a submission, unless your genre is author bios).

Submissions can be sent to [email protected] or through the form below. (It has been noted by some using the form that something wonky appears to happen to your formatting when you copy/ paste in there, which can be distressing, particularly if you are submitting poetry. The good news is, the submissions always get to us with their formatting intact. I don't know why it doesn't look right in the submission box, but rest assured it sorts itself out on the way to our inbox). 
​
Also please note that we often find ourselves a bit overwhelmed with submissions, and our turn-around is sometimes a week or so, sometimes a month or two. It is by no means a reflection on the quality of your work.
