Submissions
Our submission window for Issue VI is officially OPEN.
Send to reverie.litjournal@gmail.com
Deadline is August 1, 2026
General Guidelines
-
All are welcome to submit.
-
We accept writing/artwork that has been previously published, but ask that you state the previous place of publication.
-
Simultaneous submissions are encouraged but please let us know if your piece has found a home elsewhere.
-
If your work is accepted, we ask for first publishing rights and archival rights. Upon publication, all rights revert back to the author. We would be grateful if you could credit Reverie as the place where your work first appeared, should the piece be reprinted in the future.
-
Reverie does not publish any work that is offensive in nature. We do not endorse any form of racism, sexism, homophobia, and other narratives that may be harmful and derogatory.
We’re looking for poetry, prose, short fiction/non-fiction, and visual art from all over the world. Send us work that enthralls, beguiles — small wonders where they bud, stories the breadth of Saturn's rings. Pieces that evoke, invoke, and provoke. Whatever you may dream of, write, and spin us away into a reverie.
