Submission Guidelines

Submissions are open year-round. We are currently reading for Issue 7.

  • The Post Grad Journal focuses mainly on poetry, but will also consider exceptional works of creative prose or short essays. We are especially drawn to narrative poems, prose poems, and hybrid works.

    Please only submit original, previously unpublished works. Simultaneous submissions are allowed, but please let us know if your work is accepted elsewhere. Please wait to re-submit until you have received a response to your current submission.

    Submitting your work here makes it eligible to be published in our upcoming journal issue and featured on our social media accounts. All accepted work will be considered for award nominations such as Best of the Net, the Pushcart Prize, etc.

    If your work is accepted into The Post Grad Journal, you are granting us the non-exclusive right to publish your work online. The copyright will remain with you in all cases. If your work is subsequently published elsewhere, please credit The Post Grad Journal as the journal of first publication.

    Please submit 1-5 pieces. Each piece should be no longer than two pages in length.

  • We are always interested in photography and artwork to feature in our journal issues, on our website, and on our social media accounts. Please send submissions directly to postgradjournal@gmail.com.
