We swear to you, spring will be here soon. In the meantime: sow some seeds, send some work out, and maybe you’ll have flowers in the spring. Or potatoes. Or a floating bonsai tree. Anyway—
We’re coming at you with more journals and more residencies/fellowships than we’ve ever included before. If you don’t see your own here, please email Small Press Editor Dennis James Sweeney. We especially like to hear from women, people of color, people who identify as LGBTQ, and others who are underrepresented in publishing. Happy submitting, and happy (almost…) spring!
