Pitch notes

Open for nonfiction pitches AND completed drafts; criticism = review essays/critical essays, not straight reviews. No interview pitches. Fiction and poetry closed (2026). Response: assume pass after 4 weeks.

Our take: coming soon. Spot something out of date? Tell us. Always confirm on the outlet's own page before pitching; pages change without notice.
