Peregrine Journal
There are presently no open calls for submissions.
Peregrine, published by Amherst Writers & Artists Press, has provided a forum for national and international writers since 1983. We are committed to finding exceptional work by both emerging and established writers. We welcome writing from individuals in groups which have not historically been well represented in mainstream literature, such as LGBTQ, neurodivergent, POC and writers with disabilities.
We accept only original and previously unpublished poetry and short prose. We seek work that is unpretentious, memorable, and that reflects diversity of voice. No work for or by children. Peregrine accepts submissions only through the Submittable portal. We welcome simultaneous submissions, however please add a note to your submission if your work is accepted elsewhere.
Decisions for the next issue of Peregrine will be made by mid summer, with publication in fall of the same year.
Peregrine is staffed by volunteers and cannot offer payment to contributors at this time. Contributors will receive one complimentary copy of the issue in which their work appears.
In the interests of social justice, if you are unable to pay the $3.00 submission fee, please reach out to us at info@amherstwriters.org.
