Submissions Closed

Our mission is to showcase unsung Welsh voices from all nooks and valleys of our wonderful Welsh home. You must be a Welsh native, live here, or have lived here in order to submit to us. However, please note your submission does not need to pertain to your time here, be about your Welsh identity or living experiences – you can submit work that includes these themes but are under no obligation to do so.

Submissions will open four times a year prior to the release of each issue. Please do not send submissions outside of these periods.

Keep an eye on our social media channels for submission announcements!
