Union Spring seeks work from the heart that takes aim straight at our particular moment. We want writing that comes from out of nowhere, maybe inside of you, to say something big about this daring, windblown world.

We publish poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and literary criticism that says something direct and meaningful about our current American moment. We promise not to shy away from pointing the finger, if that’s what it takes to make a difference.

Please submit to any genre only once per reading period.
