We are happy to have paid writers more than $40,000 over the years.

Read the 2020 winner, "In Passing: A Carriage to Clarksville" by Harper Darnell about a young woman in the South after the Civil War. Most winners may be read here.

Poetry Open update: All entries have been read. We expect to announce the winners in a week or so. Thanks for your patience while we reread the flagged entries and vote on our favorites.

General submissions (no fee to submit) remain open year round for both written work and visual art. We pay $20 for each general submission that we publish.

Peace!
