Submissions
Vernacular Journal enthusiastically welcomes submissions on anything and everything that falls under the theme of vernacular. This theme is expansive and we’re open to a very wide range of interpretations. If you’re unsure if your work is a fit for Vernacular, please get in touch.
FORMAT:
Anything that can be displayed online: non-fiction, fiction, art, photography, music, poetry, comics, interviews, dream interpretation, a playlist, a menu for a nonexistent restaurant, etc. The weirder the better.
A reasonable word count for written pieces is 1500 - 2000 words.
PROCESS:
The journal publishes 4 editions a year, on a seasonal basis (Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring).
The deadline to submit for the Winter 2025 edition is January 15, 2025.
Please send your submission(s) to vernacularjournal@gmail.com
If you’re submitting a written piece, we encourage you to send along any accompanying photos or pictures as well. Public Domain Review and Wellcome Collection Library are both amazing sources for creative commons images.
Please note that we do not pay for contributions. Licensing-wise, all copyrights are retained by you, the creator.
