Right now through September 15, Nightingale & Sparrow is seeking gothic-themed writing for their “Nevermore” themed edition. They’re looking for goosebumps and bad dreams, foggy streets and stormy evenings.

Poets may submit up to three poems of any length. Nightingale & Sparrow also publishes micropoems. Authors of fiction or creative nonfiction may submit up to twelve pages of prose. Submitting authors can expect a response within about two weeks following the submissions deadline.

Nightingale & Sparrow reads submissions blind, so they’re a great venue for unpublished authors. Submitting authors should take care not to include any identifying information on their work.

Nightingale & Sparrow accepts submissions via email, not online or by post. The accept simultaneous submissions but ask that authors immediately withdraw work published elsewhere. They do not accept previously published work.
