Are you ready to be published?

At Writing Voices we're proud to help make talented voices heard!

​

We are now open to external submissions. We often put out calls for submissions on specific themes - check out our social media channels to find out if we're looking for something specific right now. 

​

We accept submissions from all writers - it doesn't matter to us whether you've been published before or not. If you've got a great literary voice and write to a high standard, we want to hear from you.

​

Please read our submission guidelines and FAQ below carefully before sending us your work.
