Creative Writers Opportunities

The Swamp Literary Magazine is now accepting no-fee submission of poetry, fiction, and nonfiction through April 15th. Poetry of all forms and styles, as well as flash pieces are welcome. We love and publish work that evokes a strong sense of place, which for us is broadly defined. Though we do have a preference for pieces that are Southern, humid, and swampy. To get a better sense of what we publish as well as how to submit, please check out our website.   To keep up to date with us, be sure to follow us on Facebook .  We hope to read your work soon!
