A Word on Submissions…

Midcult* is the bridge between “high” and “low” art. We hope to find some earnest truth somewhere in-between the two.

We are open for submissions of fiction & poetry & essays & reviews & interviews & pretty much any art a human can conjure until March 31, 2026. Submissions will then reopen on July 1, 2026.

We publish several times a week online, the Midcult* Dispatch is published quarterly, and the Midcult* Loosies are published bi-monthly. All submissions will be considered for each.

Poetry submissions can be sent to poetry@midcult.net.

Prose submissions (fiction, essays, reviews, etc.) can be sent to prose@midcult.net. 

Art submissions and well wishes can be sent to midcult@midcult.net.

We prefer previously unpublished work, but will consider work for publication online if it has only previously appeared in print. If work is accepted, Midcult* receives first serial or digital rights (depending on the medium of publication) and non-exclusive archival rights. All authors retain the intellectual property of their work, and rights will revert to the author upon publication.

We will respond to every submission, but we receive many so please allow for 6-8 weeks.

We look forward to hearing from you.
