Limited Demographic: student writers actively enrolled in graduate and undergraduate programs around the world

Simply, we offer an open invitation to send us work with heart and work that tells us something fresh about the ordinary and odd world we think we know.

We welcome variety in subject, form, and perspective, including all modes of literary writing from domestic realism to speculative fiction to experimental poetry and beyond.

Submitting writers should want their work to contribute to a larger dialogue in the world. Mistake House Magazine seeks to participate in the literary community’s urgent efforts to draw on moral courage to write about pressing issues in the world today. We believe that writing honestly about current human issues is a way to be involved and make a positive impact.
