Submissions Guidelines: We are currently seeking prose, short fiction and essays related to the literary and visual arts, as well as book and art exhibition reviews (please query first on reviews). Poetry submissions are accepted, but with a large backlog of previously accepted poetry, not encouraged.

Email submissions will not be considered.

Please enclose a brief bio and publishing history, if any.

All submissions must include SASE; please allow 10-12 weeks for response. Payment is one copy of the issue in which your work appears.

First-time submitters are strongly encouraged to check out a recent issue to see if you feel First Intensity is a suitable format for your work. For a sample issue, see back-issue ordering details elsewhere. Send to:
