The editors at Sweet understand that there are good works that get overlooked, and that often our decisions are based not just on quality but also on taste. That said: Sweet publishes emerging and established writers three times a year--July, November, and March.

Sweet seeks only poetry and creative nonfiction and anything in between. (Sorry fiction writers!) We read submissions all-year. Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but please notify us immediately if your work has been taken by another literary journal. (We would like to be the first to congratulate you!) 

Along with your attachment, please include a brief cover letter in your email with complete contact information.  

Poetry

Please attach no more than 3 poems to poetrysubmissions@sweetlit.com as one single MSWORD document.

Creative  Nonfiction

Please attach one piece of creative nonfiction to cnf@sweetlit.com as a MSWORD document. Essays should not exceed 3,500 words.
