DIARY SUBMISSIONS

Diary submissions are currently open!

In our STRANGE NATURES DIARY, we seek to digitally publish writing in any form that is not a full-length book. This includes but is not limited to essays, interviews, poetry, criticism, short stories, and anything in between.

Please send an email to hello@strangenatures.org including:

• DIARY SUBMISSION from YOUR NAME in the subject

• A pitch for a piece you'd like to write and publish in our DIARY, or

• A full-length piece in PDF format attached to the email with 1-3 paragraphs in the body of the email introducing the piece to us

• A short bio, if you'd like for us to share a bit about you with our readers (you’ll also have the option to publish your piece anonymously by request)

Please allow us time to properly review all submissions. Regardless of whether or not we choose to publish your work, you will hear back from us after we've given each piece fair consideration. Thank you for your patience!
