Craft essays should be written in a warm, conversational voice and offer practical insight for working writers. We are excited by essays that reflect a writer's genuine curiosity, passion, and perspective. More than anything, we want to hear your voice on the page and see how your experience, questions, and discoveries shape your approach to craft.
We welcome essays on fiction, flash fiction, CNF, hybrid forms, voice, structure, place, tension, defamiliarization, revision, and other aspects of literary craft. We are especially interested in essays that make craft feel tangible, usable, and alive.
Both standalone essays and contributions to ongoing craft series are welcome.
We encourage submissions from writers, teachers, and creatives at all stages of their practice.
