Submissions
We accept submissions year round ~ anything and everything that revolves around moms without shaming or judging. We especially love to laugh, but we also enjoy a good cry and we love to eat, reminisce, and being whisked away in a good story. We love the kids, the pets, EVERYONE IN THE FAMILY, and we love to share all the joys and challenges of motherhood - together, with you. NOTE: We publish twice a year - winter and summer. Sometimes we are able to publish a fall issue as well. Turn around times on your submissions can take awhile as we are a small group of working moms, so if you submit, please be patient and know that we do get to, and respond, to every submission.
Electronic submissions are encouraged for everything as post mail takes much longer to process. Word length varies. Short stories should be no longer than 1200 words. We do accept simultaneous submissions & reprints, but you must let us know! Please also be sure to ad us as a contact in your email or we may wind up in spam. Sometimes, it takes awhile for us to get back to you and you may miss your acceptance letter. If you have any questions, please let us know.
