We're thrilled to announce that we are currently open for submissions!

In this episode, we discuss what's new about this year's open reading period, our tips and tricks for submitting your work, and what our vision for Host's 2025 publishing program holds!

We're looking for poetry and fiction (short stories or novellas) full-length manuscripts submissions between September 13th, 2024 through October 15th, 2024. Please review the finer details of our general guidelines on our submissions page.

• Submissions are open to any US-based poet or fiction writer. Though we love and have historically published works in translation, all submissions for this period must be original work written in English.
• Our reading fee is $15, however a limited number of free entries will be available for writers for whom the reading fee presents a financial hardship. Please contact us at editors@hostpublications.com.
• We encourage to all who submit that familiarize themselves with our most recent publications. You may purchase our titles on our website or through our distributor.
• Submissions will be reviewed and participants will be notified by February 1st, 2024.

We can't wait to read your poetry and short fiction manuscripts! As always, thanks for listening <3
