Phoebe + nonfiction = something new and exciting!

Phoebe is proud and excited to announce we are now accepting submissions of creative nonfiction with an emphasis on avante-garde, experimental voice. Personal narratives are welcome but by no means mandatory. In keeping with the rest of Phoebe’s mission, we insist on openness, which means we welcome both experimental and conventional prose and poetry, and we insist on being entertained, which means the work must capture and hold our attention. We value nonfiction as literature and judge it accordingly.

At this time we are accepting work between 500 and 2,000 words in length for publication on our website (currently being revamped). In addition, during the second week of April we will be announcing the details of our first nonfiction writing contest, both online and at the AWP conference in Denver, CO. Stay tuned for all details, including monetary prizes, a very special guest judge, and full submission guidelines. Be sure as well to keep an eye open for a brand new website in the upcoming months!

Nonfiction submissions can be emailed as .doc attachment to PhoebeNonfiction@gmail.com or printed and mailed to:
