All contributions should be in the vein of previously-published Midwestern Gothic stories and poems—namely, showcasing the Midwest, or your life inspired by the Midwest. We want to see the gritty, real and raw, even the mundane or overtly happy. And while the Midwest doesn't have to feature explicitly in your work, there should be some connection to the region, however small it may be.

Simultaneous submissions are allowed, but please let us know the moment your piece is accepted elsewhere (it’s the polite thing to do). 

All other submission requirements stand (please see below). Please let us know if you have any questions about what we’re looking for.
