We accept submissions below for weekly publication on a rolling basis. Please use the following form to submit your piece. Note that all submissions are due by midnight on the Tuesday they were written (to preserve freshness)!  So, if you think you caught a fish during SWHH, take a moment to gut it and send it in using the form below.  

All submissions must be made as a readable, publicly accessible Google Doc. Submissions are reviewed weekly by our three-person Editorial Coven, which reserves the right to accept or reject any submissions based entirely on their own obscure, whimsical tastes and biases. The editorial board is not able to give feedback on rejected works.

We are sorry that we cannot pay for publication!

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE DO NOT PUBLISH ANYTHING WRITTEN OUTSIDE OF SILENT WRITING HAPPY HOUR!
