Submit!
Winged Penny Review is Now Accepting Submissions!
General Submissions:
We gladly welcome you to be a part of our debut issue that will be published fall/winter of 2023. Send us your best work: your proudest pieces, your late-night musings, your boldest exclamations, your hidden thoughts. We look for pieces that beautifully mingle passion and voice; those that leave an ache long after we read them; your most authentic creations; the depths of your imagination; a spontaneous experiment; words that dance — or none of those, just the pieces that carry themselves so brightly we can't help but stare.
Submissions are open from November 25, 2023 to January 25, 2024.
-
Poetry: send us 3-6 poems at a time. No line requirements. We are open to all forms of poetry, including prose poetry and experimental poetry. One poem per page, please.
-
Short stories: send us up to 2 short stories, each not exceeding 3000 words. Send stories in separate documents.
-
Simultaneous submissions are absolutely allowed, but please let us know if your work is selected elsewhere (we'd like to congratulate you!)
-
Previously published pieces are accepted; please follow the guidelines of the original publication and provide us with details.
-
Please send us your work in the following formats only: .pdf, .doc, .docx. Do not include any identifying information in the document.
-
No racist, sexist, homophobic, ableist, or otherwise discriminatory work. These will be instantly rejected.

Send your submission with the subject "Submission." Include a cover letter and a short biography. Include content warnings in your cover letter as you see fit.
-
Please only send up to three submissions at a time. We kindly ask you to wait for our response before sending more.
Our reading time is between 3-6 weeks. If we have not responded to your submission in 90 days, please send us a query on the status of your work. We nominate for the Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net.
Send us your work at wingedpennyreview@gmail.com. We can't wait to read it!
