Submissions are Open for Issue 37
Submissions for Issue 37 are open from May 1 to June 15, 2026.
If you’re planning to submit, gaining a sense of Epiphany’s past work is one of the best ways to stand out to our readers and editors. For a complete archive of all of our past issues, consider a digital subscription to Epiphany, or, for two hot print magazines delivered to your door each year, try a print subscription.
We are especially seeking works of creative nonfiction and translation. For a sense of what we publish in those categories, check out:
Fertile by Breakout Prize winner Julia Oschwald Tilton, which lays bare the the emotional whiplash of pregnancy and recurring miscarriages. Fertility challenges are juxtaposed with the life cycle of hens, baby chickens, and indigenous practices of egg hunting—revealing deeper truths about how to find meaning and self-worth amidst the loss of an unborn child.
Shovel People by Asya Graf, a stirring personal essay that explores the writer’s grandparents’ experience in the USSR and issues a moral imperative to dissent against complacency and authoritarianism in the USSR, Russia, the US, and everywhere.
An excerpt from The Lost Daughter by Elena Ferrante, trans. Ann Goldstein, which follows a middle-aged divorcée and empty nester on vacation who soon finds herself enthralled with a young mother on the beach, eventually sharing secrets and revealing a tangled web of emotions.
Send us writing that propels us towards new revelations, resists the boundaries of language, and sparks questions we’ve never thought to ask. Because each guest poetry editor has different tastes, feel free to submit again if your work was not accepted in the past.
