HELLO WRITERS AND POETS OF TUMBLR! DO YOU WANT TO GET PUBLISHED IN A LITERARY JOURNAL?

For years I've been submitting to literary journals and gotten fed up with the process, so I've decided to start my own! It's called Goosewax! There is NO submission fee and NO long waiting period! Already published your work to Tumblr, Wattpad, Substack, etc? Not a problem. I have no issues with accepting previously published work!

Obviously this journal is brand new, so I can't claim any kind of prestige, but it is an official literary journal and your work would be considered published! This means that in all your cover letters from now on, you could list publication in a journal. You'd also be helping an independent journal get its feet off the ground.

There are very few rules to submit, but be sure to read them on the Submissions page linked below. Basically I accept short stories, creative nonfiction, and poetry all with a maximum of 5k words (no fanfiction please, only works that don't require knowledge of particular media). Since I don't have a backlog to get through right now, turnaround time will be lightning fast and if you choose to provide an email (optional) you'll hear back about your submission in a day or two. Here's the submission page:

You can also email me at [email protected] with your submission attached, if you prefer. If you have trouble with either of these, feel free to DM me on Tumblr. You can also remain entirely anonymous if you'd like, or be published under a username. It's up to you! If you don't wish to submit, reblogs are GREATLY appreciated as I try to get this thing going. I am super excited about this project and I can't wait to read your submissions!

Call for Writer Submissions!

Goosewax Online Journal is an independent site dedicated to helping talented new writers enter the world of literary journal publication. Submission is free, turnaround times to hear back are about a week, and previously published work is a-okay! I'm a writer too and I know how maddening the journal submission process can be, so I founded Goosewax to help writers get their foot in the door and gain a publication credit without the frustration that usually comes with submission.

I'm looking for short stories, creative nonfiction, and poetry. There's as few rules as possible, but be sure to read the listed requirements on the submission page before submitting. If you have any questions, feel free to DM my main Tumblr @jellogram or email [email protected]. There's also an FAQ linked in my pinned post. You can check out previously published works at the home page: goosewax.wordpress.com

Where to submit:

This is a very new journal, so reblogs are greatly appreciated as I try to get the word out! Thank you!

Moonday Mag: Untouchable - Spring 2024, Issue No. #02

I have a short story appearing in the fairly new magazine, Moonday Mag. I’m in Issue No. #2, Spring 2024. It is available on Magcloud as a beautifully put together print format or read it free digitally. Edited by Caridad Cole, Moonday Mag could best be described as a magazine of experimental fiction: experimental forms and prose, speculative fiction, some magic realism and literary too. There’s…

I'd only read one physical copy of the magazine and visited the website from time to time, but it was still disappointing to hear that Bookforum was folding.

I immediately wondered if this was another sign of decreasing literacy and interest in books, which in turn means that there's likely a decline in higher order thinking skills. (As always, I'm puzzled at the lack of a sense of urgency about this problem.)

I know I'm a little late to the party, but it's good news that The Nation caught Bookforum's fall.

Rose Petals

Only tell me

The most beautiful of stories

Ones with love and hope

Let the pink petals

Fall from you lips

Let our shallow grave

Be a bed of roses

So at least we were beautiful

As we laid on thorns

Submission Spotlight: Guernica

If you're looking for a lit mag to place short fiction with a slant towards originality (or even weirdness) and a lot of interiority, may I suggest Guernica? They're open now, and there's no fee. Competition is a tough, so send your best! #publishing

As of May 2023, Guernica is currently open for no-fee submissions here (follow their link to create a free Submittable account). Founded in 2004, Guernica publishes poetry, essays, fiction, criticism, and journalism online. Unlike most magazines, it pays contributors rather than staff; in fact, its staff are entirely volunteers. Rather than a university affiliation, the magazine is partnered with…

“…So all these hippies, leftovers from Woodstock, moved in, and although they annoyed the locals with their hair and bare feet…”

I'm so excited to have these poems appear in Evergreen Review! And I'm very grateful to poetry editor Jee Leong Koh for selecting them, especially since they're not, eh, light reading: reproductive rights, toxic relationships, and so on. Read here!

Behind the Poems: The Crayola Dance

Behind the Poems: The Crayola Dance

Welcome to the next installment of my series “Behind the Poems.” You can read the other posts here. “The Crayola Dance” is the last piece published in The Cypress Dome, UCF’s literary journal. As you can see from above, I am not an HTML coder and cannot properly display the poem but this is close enough. I have an obsession with color. My mom even tells the story all the time of how she taught…
