Poetry and Creative Writing Submission

We invite a diverse range of poetry and cre­ative writ­ing which lift up issues of social jus­tice and faith. Please review our upcom­ing jour­nal issue themes and our site con­tent to see if Unbound might be a good home for your writ­ing. While Unbound will con­sider many forms of cre­ative writ­ing, pri­or­ity is given to poetry. Unbound wel­comes poetry that is grounded in your per­sonal expe­ri­ences, hopes, and frus­tra­tions. Unbound’s pri­mary con­sid­er­a­tions in its accep­tance or rejec­tion of cre­ative writ­ing sub­mis­sions are: orig­i­nal­ity; rel­e­vance to the journal’s mis­sion and/or issue themes; appro­pri­ate­ness for a faith-based jour­nal with view­ers of a wide vari­ety of ages; and whether the text offers a cri­tique of soci­ety, church, unjust social mores and/or polit­i­cal policies.

Man­u­scripts should be sub­mit­ted for con­sid­er­a­tion by email in accor­dance with the Process of Sub­mis­sion require­ments. The poetry should be attached to the email in Microsoft Word for­mat. You are wel­come to sub­mit a writ­ten expla­na­tion and/or mul­ti­me­dia to accom­pany your cre­ative writ­ing, such as a pho­to­graph or video. If con­sid­er­ing sub­mit­ting mul­ti­me­dia or art, please see the appro­pri­ate cat­e­gories of sub­mis­sion for addi­tional guidelines.

Poets/writers should be will­ing to respond to ques­tions from Inter­net read­ers of their work.
