Thank you for your interest in So to Speak! The best way to get a sense of what we publish is to read our most recent issue(s), available on our website.

Please note we only accept previously unpublished work for all categories. Please do not send us a piece you have sent us before unless we ask to see another version.

Blog submissions will open periodically throughout the year for themed calls. Please submit book reviews, interviews, essays, etc. See our website for additional submission information. It's always a good idea to read a few of our blog posts (outside of a limited series) for a sense of what we're looking for. 

We offer fee-free submissions for Black and Indigenous writers always. This will be available as a separate form when submissions are open. 

If you are not a Black or Indigenous writer and the submission fee presents a financial hardship, please email us at sts@gmu.edu for a fee waiver.

Please note that affiliates of George Mason University may not submit their work for consideration until at least five years after their graduation date.

For more information, please visit our submissions page.
