Established in 2017 as a literary magazine for fiction, CRAFT expanded in 2020 to publish creative nonfiction as well. We explore how writing works, reading pieces with a focus on the elements of craft, on the art of prose. We feature previously unpublished creative work, as well as critical pieces including craft essays and interviews. All published creative pieces include an author’s note and an editorial introduction that both discuss stylistics in the work.We do not charge fees for our fiction or creative nonfiction submissions, or for our craft categories, and we are a paying market. Our general submissions are open year-round with no capacity limits. We value accessibility—keeping CRAFT free to read and free to submit to is our priority. We work with all writers, established as well as emerging. All creative work published in CRAFT comes through submission; we do not solicit fiction or creative nonfiction.We offer editorial feedback on short prose for both contest and general submissions; to request feedback, please submit to the appropriate genre and choose the Add-On option at the end of the submission form.So that our notifications to you are not filtered as spam/junk, please whitelist/add to contacts: notifications@email.submittable.com.By submitting to CRAFT, submitters agree to receive correspondence about future published works and submission opportunities from CRAFT.
