Mulberry Literary Submissions

SUBMISSIONS FOR MULBERRY LITERARY ARE OPEN!

Submissions for Issue IX (Fall/Winter 2024) and Issue X (Spring/Summer 2025) open midnight (CST/CDT) JUNE 1, 2024 and close midnight (CST/CDT) JULY 15, 2024. Please note that submissions for a particular genre are subject to close early if a large amount of submissions are received.

Mulberry accepts all creative media—from prose, flash, poetry, script, and comics, to film, music, visual art, dance, and everything in-between. Cross-genre, experimental, and hybrid work are always welcome, as well as excerpts of longer pieces.

We accept work from everyone who wishes to submit, but we particularly encourage work from LGBTQIA+, gender expansive creators, and BIPoC voices. If you’re a creative writing undergraduate, graduate student, or member of creative writing faculty at a college/university, we’d love to hear from you. As ever, international submissions and submissions of translated work are welcome.
