Room publishes original fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, and art by folks of marginalized genders, including but not limited to women (cisgender and transgender), transgender men, Two-Spirit and nonbinary people. We encourage writers with overlapping under-represented identities to submit, and we don’t want writers to feel restricted by gender or genre labels, so if you are unsure if your work is a fit for Room, please get in touch.
Each issue of Room is edited by a different editorial team. Each time you submit to Room, you will be read by different readers and editors with different editorial tastes and preferences.
We are open for submissions: Issue 48.2
Room Magazine invites you to submit your writing to our Issue 48.2, edited by Lena Belova, alongside Assistant Editor Nara Monteiro, and Shadow Editors Claire Diamant and Natasha Gauthier. The writing in this issue can be on any theme, and our editors are excited to weave together disparate and contrasting works, as well as stitch supportive threads that we may find inside the contest-winning pieces that will be included in this issue alongside submissions.
Our editors are interested in sharp, relevant, and provocative works of CNF, fiction that is visceral, concise, and of deep emotional resonance, and poetry that urges questions, dreaming, and feeling inside the reader. Throughout these forms, we are interested in strong narrative and poetic voices that command our attention. In our art submissions, we are seeking works of glitches, surrealism, paper collage, photography, mixed-materials, and fabric-based art that supports our desire to knit together all the literary pieces we uncover during our submissions call.
Submissions open August 14th and will be accepted on a rolling basis until we reach our submissions limit.
