Description
Note: remove identifying information from manuscript for anonymous judging.
We are interested in moments of emotional intensity, and how their effects ring out in the bigger picture of our identities. We are looking for writing and art that explore mental health or emotional life. By "mental health," we mean art that tries to make sense of emotional struggle or uncertainty, as well as our thoughts about who we are, what other people mean to us, and the nature of the world.
We curate submissions for writing and art that will offer readers experiences outside their emotional pain, or a moment of interest or connection. We're not trying to erase or replace negative moods—we’re trying to show an expression of care.
