be any number of things. It can be a gathering of animals such as geese in the sky, a gathering of sounds to create a piece of music, a gathering of friends or family at a reunion, or in the case of our next issue, a gathering of voices. Make a statement,
inform the world, and let your voice be heard. We encourage you to submit writing that touches upon the human condition or remarks upon something you believe in.

longer pieces, shorter pieces have a better chance at publication. There is no minimum word count. See below for category specific requirements. Submissions should be submitted via Submishmash or Standard Mail. Each uploaded document should consist of a single
