Poetry and essay submissions open 12/26–1/1

Ecotone is open to submissions, by post and via Submittable, from December 26–January 1. As we work to regain time lost to UNC Wilmington's monthlong closure during and after Hurricane Florence, we will be open this time to poetry and nonfiction submissions, but closed to fiction. Submissions are considered for all new issues; we will be reading for upcoming unthemed issues as well as our fall 2019 issue, themed Love, for which we are especially interested in seeing new and rigorous takes on the sonnet, the rondel prime, and the bref double. Find our complete guidelines at ecotonemagazine.org/submissions.
