We will only consider submissions by writers and artists working in New England. To this end, please include with your submission a brief bio (at least a sentence, but no more than a paragraph) including, if nothing else, your current whereabouts (we don’t need a full address for email submissions). Yes, we recognize there is nothing to keep you from lying to us or using a fake address, but this would not be in keeping with the spirit of the journal. We assume you want to be honest with us.
Prose
We consider original, previously unpublished fiction and creative nonfiction of any genre as long as it is of high quality. Send us only your best, for your sake and ours. Pieces do not have to be “New Englandy”. Send us something that is good and true. Please send no more than one piece of prose at a time to submissions@meetinghousemag.com. Write “fiction submission” or “nonfiction submission” in the subject line, and paste your submission into the body of the email. Attachments will be deleted unopened. No set word limit, but, this being the Internet, a little shorter is usually better than a little longer. We will do our best to respond in a prompt manner, usually no more than eight weeks.
Poetry
We consider original, previously unpublished poetry. Please send no more than four poems at a time to submissions@meetinghousemag.com. Write “poetry submission” in the subject field and paste your submission in the body of the email. Attachments will be deleted unopened. We will do our best to respond in a prompt manner, usually no more than eight weeks.
Visual Art
Please send a brief bio and a description of your work to submissions@meetinghousemag.com. Write “visual art” in the subject line. Do not send samples of your work until you hear from us.
