Even as I write this from Tampa, it’s difficult to understand that fall has arrived. But it has. Fall is here. And with fall comes our decision to switch up the submissions process here at Sweet. We are once again opening creative nonfiction submissions, but only for the month of October. From October 1st until October 31st at midnight, we will open creative nonfiction submissions. 

We at Sweet do not ask for submissions fees. We believe in emerging and established writers, and we do not wish for you to pay. We believe in work we can chew, taste, and feel long after we swallow. We believe in work that lingers. We want to see everything from experimental to literary journalism—as long as it’s under 1,500 words. Feed us.
