Submission Guidelines

We are always looking for submissions!
 

• Breath & Shadow only accepts work from people with disabilities. We use the term "disability" broadly to encompass anyone who identifies with it.
   

• Breath & Shadow accepts writing on any topic for poetry and fiction; these pieces do not have to relate to disability. Links to readings/performances may be included!
   

• Essays, reviews, articles, and other forms of nonfiction do have to relate to disability in some way.
   

• You must include a third-person author biography with your submissions. Please add links to any social media or other work.
   

• We accept submissions from anyone, anywhere, of any age!
   

• Previously published pieces must include when and where they were published. Simultaneous submissions are accepted. You are welcome to republish your pieces elsewhere after Breath & Shadow, but you must link/reference back to us if you do.
   

• There is a limit of two (2) submissions per issue, with a 3000 word max per submission.
   

• Compensation is $40 per Fiction/Nonfiction and $25 per Poem.
