Submissions Open
Be a founding contributor. Help us launch something new.
Now Open
Our reading period runs through September 15, 2026. Every piece in Issue 1 will come through open submissions—no solicitations, no connections required.
We know what you're thinking: why submit to a journal with no track record?
Founding contributor status. Be published in Issue 1. Your name will be part of our origin story forever.
Transparency. A contributor portal where you can see how your work is performing—reads, completion rates, highlights.
Fair payment. $300–$500 when we reach 1,000 subscriptions, or a $200 honorarium within 12 months.
A real reading experience. Your work in a native web reader with beautiful typography, not a PDF.
Fresh eyes. We're starting small enough to read carefully.
We can't offer prestige yet. We can offer a chance to be part of building something different.
Literary in craft and ambitious in scope. Work that engages with economic, technological, or systemic forces. No genre fiction, erotica, or fan fiction.
Sophisticated YA that respects its readers. No condescension, no moralizing. Protagonists should be teens or young adults.
Essays at the intersection of economics, business, technology, and human experience. Personal essays, reported pieces, hybrid forms.
Personal narrative with resonance beyond the individual story. We want the particular that illuminates the universal.
Any form. We look for work that thinks and feels simultaneously. Submit up to 5 poems as a single submission.
One-acts, excerpts from longer works, experimental forms. Theater belongs in literary journals.
Work that defies category. If you’re unsure whether it fits, send it. We’re genuinely interested.
