Greetings to all you Writers and Poets!
The Swift: Clark College Literary Journal is currently accepting submissions. We will call for submissions of all genres of fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry in late fall – early winter. Submissions open from Oct. 20th until Jan. 16th.
During our open reading period, we accept:
- Fiction and creative nonfiction pieces that delight us and/or change us. Max word count for each piece: 4000. Submit no more than two pieces. See “Mine All Mine,” “The Angler Fish,” “Another Path,” and “Moon Hungry” for some favorites from our 2024 issue.
- Poetry that surprises us with its language and enjambments. Submit up to 4 poems.
Submit your PDF, .docx, or .rtf with your name and title of the piece at the top of each submission to theswift@clark.edu.
