Amherst Writers Press
There are presently no open calls for submissions.
Peregrine welcomes simultaneous submissions. Decisions will be made by the editors after the deadline, so our response time may be slower than that of other literary journals. Please inform Peregrine if your work is accepted elsewhere.
We are looking for well-written, thoughtful, previously unpublished poems and pieces of creative nonfiction/memoir that inform and surprise us. We appreciate fresh and specific imagery and layered metaphors (but not excessive verbiage, abstractions or clichés). We will not consider inspirational poetry, greeting card verse, religious tirades, or nostalgia.
Peregrine has a mandate of inclusivity that encourages writing by emerging as well as established writers. We encourage submissions from writers of all ethnicities and backgrounds, including writers with disabilities, LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent writers.
Contributors whose work is accepted for publication will receive one copy of the 2024 Peregrine print edition.
Reading and editing staff of Peregrine as well as AWA Board members are not eligible for inclusion in this journal
