Declaration Editing & Design is dedicated to supporting literary endeavors, especially those in the Northwest. To show this support, we post a digest of submission call from Northwest literary magazines, journals, and anthologies on the second and forth Wednesdays of each month. This is a free service, meant to connect writers with venues for their work, and not an endorsement of these publications in any way.
This post contains submission calls from the following publications:
- A cappella Zoo
- PRISM international
- Willow Springs
**********

Limit: 7500 words (query for longer) or up to 3 poems or flash fictions. Simultaneous submissions and reprints accepted. Our issues are published simultaneously in print and online.
