It’s that time again—submissions are open for Midwestern Gothic Issue 16, Winter 2015! We know it’s a way off, but we’re in a bit of a transition period to allow us a bit more time on the back end to get issues ready. So, from now until August 31, 2014, send us your fiction and poetry inspired by the Midwest!

And don’t forget as well, you still have until the end of August to submit to the inaugural Lake Prize competition. Details

Haven’t submitted before? Please take a few minutes and read through our Submissions Guidelines—they’ll fill you in on what Midwestern Gothic is all about and exactly what we’re looking for. Or you could check out one of our previous issues to get a sense of our aesthetic.

Please make sure you submit through Midwestern Gothic‘s Submittable page. (All the relevant details are there, too.) And remember: Submissions are only open until August 31, 2014.

Good luck, and happy submitting!
