Surging Tide submissions are open to all writers and artists, with an emphasis on youth writing and artwork. We particularly encourage BIPOC and underrepresented authors and writers to share their work. We publish 3-4 issues annually, and we read on a rolling basis all year long.
We welcome the celestial and ethereal. The striking and nebulous. The surge in the tide.
Please send all work to surgingtidemag@gmail.com with a short 50-word third-person biography. Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but please indicate as such. We accept both published and unpublished work. Please indicate if your piece is a reprint.
Poetry: Send up to five poems in .docx or .pdf form. Poems of all forms and subject matter are welcome.
Prose: Send up to two pieces (e.g. fiction, nonfiction, lyric essay) up to 2000 words each, double spaced.
Visual Art: Send up to five pieces as a .png, .jpeg, or .gif file.
Performance Art: Send up to three youtube links (dance, drama, speech arts) in the body of your email.
Music: Send up to three audio files (compositions, covers, duets) in .mp3 or .wav form.
Surging Tide reserves First North American Serial Rights, as well as rights to publish in any future anthologies. Upon publication, all rights revert back to the author. However, if your work does later appear in another publication, please acknowledge Surging Tide as its first appearance.
