Thank you for your interest in Grist: A Journal of the Literary Arts!
We read for our ProForma Contest every spring from April 1 - May 15 and for general submissions from May 15 - August 15. Our print issue is published annually with an accompanying online issue.
Simultaneous submissions are acceptable as long as we are immediately notified if the piece has been accepted elsewhere. We do not consider previously published work. We do not consider work from those currently or recently affiliated with the University of Tennessee at Knoxville.
Please submit all work in Times New Roman, size 12 font.
