We give our Editors-in-Chief three submission options: 1) open their call to the general public via Submittable (just like we do for our annual literary magazine); 2) invite writers and artists to be a part of their anthology (this would mean the anthology is “closed” and not open for submissions, but rather solicitations; or 3) a hybrid of the two (for example, in our 2023 Cohort, one of our EICs opened their call up for submissions, but only for queer BIPOC artists or writers). We honor these three choices. Don’t worry, as it will never be the case that all of our anthologies are closed to the public (we ensure this through our application process when we select our EICs to begin with).
