We are always looking for writers who are willing to take a chance with form and content, as long as you are finding new ways to tell a story.

We are also eager to see new creative nonfiction and visual art.

So, don't be shy, send us your work.


submission guidelines

new south publishes previously unpublished literary and visual art promoting the work of emerging and established artists. new south holds no subject biases. The staff will select the best work regardless of style or genre. While we review manuscripts year round, response times may be longer during the summer.

Each submission must include the following:

• A cover letter with a 3 to 4-line bio, a list of the work(s) submitted in the order they appear, and your name, mailing address, phone number and e-mail address
• SASE for notification (we recycle manuscripts unless you send sufficient postage and request the return of your manuscript)

We do not acknowledge receipt of submissions. And, while we take the greatest care in handling your submissions, we assume no responsibility for lost or damaged manuscripts. Only unpublished work will be considered. We do consider simultaneous submissions but please notify us in your cover letter that you have submitted elsewhere. Please notify us immediately upon acceptance of your work elsewhere. All rights revert to author after publication.

We do not accept electronic submissions at this time. However, you may query us with a digital sample for visual art submissions.

VISUAL ART
