untethered’s very first themed submission call wants your HELP-inspired manifestations.

Submissions of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, visual artwork and those strange beings in-between that explore the theme of HELP are welcomed from April 1 – May 1.

Click HERE for our submission guidelines. 

We can’t wait to read your work!

Thank you so much to everyone who submitted work for consideration.

We wish we could respond to everyone who submitted (because we know how much time you put into submitting your work—and we appreciate it!), but unfortunately we are unable to respond to those whose poems we haven’t selected for inclusion. If you haven’t heard from us, it means we haven’t chosen your work.

Keep sending us you stuff! Our submissions reopen again April 1. We’ll be announcing our first themed submission call, so check back soon for details!

We are so excited for this special poetry issue, and we can’t wait to announce the contributors

Hello everyone!

Due to some unexpected printing delays we JUST got our hot lil paws on our beautiful new issues (YAY) and we want to RE-celebrate the launch with you all.

Firstly, issues are still on SALE for our special launch pricing! If you haven’t already purchases your copy — what are you waiting for!? If you have purchased a copy of 6.1 you will be happy to know it’s currently on its way to your home! So keep an eye out.

We also wanted to share the recording of our live Zoom launch from back in December.

The launch features short readings from issue contributors: Michelle Poirier Brown, Charmaine Cadeau, Katie Cameron, Clay Everest, Hollay Ghadery, Natalie Hanna, Elizabeth Harrison, Alyson Hoy, A. A. Parr, Anna Ralph, and Jessica Anne Robinson.

The live launch also included a screening of a stop-motion film made by issue artist Selina Wamsley titled Chronic, but we have cut that bit out because it’s being submitted for some awards! Our fingers are crossed because it was STUNNING.

Watch the 6.1 Launch Below
